I’ve ran engineering firms, have done recruiting and hiring. To me it’s the full ride no questions. Unless he’s looking into something like software engineering (which a degree isn’t really necessary anyway) or a niche engineering field where the college name matters more. For all other engineering fields, doesn’t matter. #1 thing most will care about is communication and interpersonal skills.

My kid has Duke in his list. Also has MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, and Yale.
All of them except Duke I could justify. Problem is he is interested in biomedical engineering. Duke is 2 in the country. GA Tech is 1. We live in GA and it will cost about 10k a year as opposed to 83k a year.
Now if he gets into a reach school I’ll pay because of the name recognition. Might be stupid but people that go to Harvard or MIT tend to have higher trajectories.
