@ThankYouforHelp @liska21 Actually Chicago does have an undergraduate engineering program now, called molecular engineering (my D applied to it) – they already had a graduate molecular engineering program and they just extended it to undergraduate last year. Great research opportunities with Argonne Natl Lab. Good if your son is interesting in chemE, but for other types of engineering (mech, civil, electric.) then better look elsewhere.
Another good option is RPI, in upstate New York. Medium size. Has a D3 soccer team, though the big sport at the school is hockey (D1). My D goes there. Great engineering programs - very well respected in the industry. Solid math program too. Very nerdy student body.
