I went to Virginia Tech for my ME undergrad and Rowan for my grad. Rowan definitely had an outstanding program. It is still young but they are nationally ranked.

If your son is a "gearhead" I agree with BMF to look for a school with good car programs. I did the solar car project but others did the Baja car, hybrid car, and mini formula one. He should definitely hook up with the SEA club.

Engineering can be extremely tough but can be easy for a smart "gear head" since he has the real world experience.

Good luck.
