Parents: My S selected to Five Univ -UG Engg. - Stuck on Choices - Help

Hi StemFamily,
thank you for the Response. Would you elaborate what degree will be - more traditional engineering degree (design focused) ?

Also , in US Universities, we choose Engineering based on 1st year GPA ?, right ? In case , my S wants to opt for EE after 1st year ,even though admitted for Engg. Science or Physics, can he do that ?
