Directional state schools that offer engineering

Shippensburg in Pa added engineering a few years ago. I don’t know exactly which kinds, however.

Verify that the program is ABET accredited - not all their programs are and you don't want to be in a program that isn't for the jobs you need when you graduated.

Yep it appears that only electrical engineering & CS are ABET-accredited at the moment: https://www.ship.edu/academics/colleges/engineering/

They list JMU as being #18 in engineering? Huh?

** where doctorate not offered**

here's the list with doctorate offered.

JMU is not even in top 100, but GMU is.

Thanks. I think both JMU and GMU are irrelevant for OP though, since she is specifically looking for a small school.

oof someone didn't do their hw on SLO. Yea, SLO is hard to get into for eng/cs.

I think you both have it wrong. Cals are for California residents. They are very hard to get into from OOS . But it still comes down to - do you really want to do engineering at Cal Poly SLO?

How did you not know this going it - acceptance rates are easy information to find.

A lot.

She would be in a small environment for her first three years (with opportunities to change to different a major if needed), and then move once she got her feet under her.

Absolutely do not do this. Columbia & Case Western have programs like that do. Getting into the “2” school is not a guarantee, and will be a huge jump in rigor from a small, not particularly selective LAC. And you have to be able to finish a BS in a hard STEM subject like Math or Physics in only 3 years, not 4, to consider transferring to the “2” school.

Gettysburg only has a dual degree program and Drexel is not a small school.

And Lafayette is very selective.
