<p>The UCs and CSUs should include the full range of schools from reach to match to safety for you. Assuming that you are a California resident, they should be in your price range at list price, although you may want to check the net price calculators to see if would get any financial aid.</p>
<p>Cheaper would be some of the schools with <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/1348012-automatic-full-tuition-full-ride-scholarships-20.html#post16451378[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/1348012-automatic-full-tuition-full-ride-scholarships-20.html#post16451378</a> . South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology may be worth a look if you want a smaller low cost school that is safety level for you.</p>
<p>Other big universities with engineering that could be affordable at non-resident prices include:</p>
<p>Iowa State
Minnesota
North Carolina State
Stony Brook
Virginia Tech</p>
<p>As a California resident, you also have options in the WUE agreement, where you would pay 1.5 times resident tuition at many western region state universities (if that is less than the normal non-resident tuition). These include Colorado State, Hawaii, Utah, Utah State, Washington State. These are likely to be mostly safety or low match level for you.</p>
