<p>CSUs with mechanical engineering include CPSLO, CPP, CSUC, CSUFresno, CSUFullerton, CSULB, CSULA, CSUN, CSUSac, SDSU, SFSU, SJSU. All of them have some level of impaction, but CSUC, CSUFresno, CSULA, CSUN, and CSUSac are probably the least impacted.</p>
<p>The UCs other than UCSC have mechanical engineering, although UCM does not show up in the ABET list yet because it is a new program. UCR and UCM are probably your most realistic chances there, though hardly assured.</p>
