Don't forget the non-tech stuff. Good engineers are everywhere. Good engineers who know how to write, can run projects, can lead people, and can get stuff done are much rarer. Tech skills make you competent. Non-tech skills make you senior. I suggest looking into a liberal arts school that will enforce a well rounded education while still getting your tech classes in. Sadly, this may be your last chance to get that for a while. The tech you learn in college will be obsolete in a few years. The "soft" stuff will last a lifetime.
