I have no idea what an engineering undergrad uses their laptop for, but under no circumstances should you get him a laptop with a mechanical hard drive. SATA SSD is good. NVME M.2 is better.

Do you have a budget range in mind?

For engineering, don't skimp on the processor.
We went with a Lenovo.
Get a good extended warranty, especially one that covers drops and accidents, it's going to be in an out of a backpack 10,000 times, and hauled all over campus.
