<p>So many of the excellent ones have already been listed. I’ll try to add some, and a thought:
UIUC
Michigan
any of the Big 10, really
Purdue
Case Western
St. Louis U</p>
<p>I’d suggest, if the individual knows what companies/type of companies he’d like to work in… that he check the Career Services Office of potential transfer schools. See who recruits at each school and target the schools where employers of interest do their recruiting.</p>
<p>From my observation of my son’s experience, engineering employers pretty much have recruiting relationships with certain schools. Although you can do your own independent job search, it is more of an uphill battle to get the attention of a company if you don’t attend one of their “regular” recruiting schools. They give priority to applicants from those schools and only consider others later in the process.</p>
