<p>Don’t forget to look at San Jose State. I think you really have to look at the program and see if it fits. What specific field of engineering do you want to go into. What kind of program do you want. My friends younger brother got into University of the Pacific in Stockton CA. They have a very good program that involves internships every summer even from freshman year all helped and arranged by the school. Cal Poly SLO is very much in the hands on approach. Trinity College is very much in that every year you have to take a design class and build something. Every school is different depends on what kind of learner you are. The ABET accreditation is pretty important as well.</p>
