I'm surprised no one has mentioned Harvey Mudd yet. 900 undergrads and the school is focused on engineering.

You want small?
You want tech?
You want Rose-Hulman. Next question.

This and the PP's suggestion of Smith will not be options for most male applicants!

OP didn’t specify in original post, and this may be helpful for other people.

OP here, I actually called him "He", but I think it's fine to offer suggestions that might work for other people. I didn't actually know that about Sweet Briar, so I think that's really cool, even though, as the mom of 3 boys, I'm unlikely to use the information.

Ideally look up The Common Data Set on colleges of interest to see how many engineers they actually graduate.

I’m the poster who listed those inaccurate numbers about Tufts- my apologies! I thought I found the numbers on Tufts’ own website or CDS but obviously pulled wrong numbers.

I think he thinks the smaller the better, but 5K could work. He likes the idea of a school where the focus is tech.

Possible U of Rochester, too, then, and Tufts.

Is Tufts mostly tech? I did not realize that.

-- OP

In the freshman class, 1800 were enrolled in arts and science and 1340 in school of engineering. That isn’t “mostly” tech but is much higher than the percentages you will see at most if not all of the LACs people are listing as responses.

There are approximately 1800 freshman total. Less than 300 engineers out of that group. It’s a great school but definitely not a lot of “Tech”. Same w U Rochester.

Tufts

OP here,

I did not know that, we'll look more closely. I didn't ask the same question about some of the LAC's (e.g. Wesleyan, Haverford) because I knew they weren't a fit. I think he'd like something like Rose Hulman, or WPI, more than someplace like Wesleyan.

+1. WPI has 4900 undergrads, with another 2000 graduate students. Great engineering school.

For very small, Haverford has a 4+1 masters engineering program with Penn - https://www.haverford.edu/engineering
