<p>Cost, Size of the university and Location do not matter.</p>

3

<p>Unless you have $120,000 sitting in the bank somewhere, or you have an outside scholarship that will pay all of your educational expenses, the cost does matter.</p>

<p>What is the budget that you have available to work with?</p>

<p>My parents have saved up 100,000$ for the next two years.</p>

<p>You are one fortunate young person! Give your parents a big hug and kiss for that!!</p>

<p>The ABET accredited programs are listed right on the ABET website. Print out the list, and then sit down with one of the college search engines such as the one here at CC and the one at CollegeBoard to find programs that match your interests.</p>

<p>You could also read through the Engineering Majors sub-Forum inside the College Majors Forum for more ideas. One parent worth looking for here at CC is classicrockerdad He often posts good information for would-be engineers.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
