Does anyone know where i can find a list of d3 schools that offer football and a have a good engineering program? Or if you know some schools that would be fine too.

Harvey Mudd College in Pomona, California, has an excellent engineering program. The compete on teams formed by Mudd, Claremont McKenna and Scripps College. Here is the link to the football page. CMS Athletics | |

Carnegie Mellon, Case Western, Johns Hopkins, MIT, Rochester, Rose-Hulman, RPI, Tufts, Union, WashU, and WPI are all top engineering schools with D-III football teams.

Easy enough to do on your own ... first focus on engineering and which schools in which you are interested. Any school that interests you check if it is DIII, DII, or DI ... 3000 schools ... 100+ are DI in football and another couple hundred are DII ... so that leaves a boatload of DIII schools.
If you want to come at this the other direction ... this web site will show you all the DIII football schools ... D3football.com ... and from there you can hunt down which have engineering.
(PS - I think it would be much quicker starting with engineering and then checkling out football - especially since 3/4ths of the DIs engineering schools will be obvious ... Illinois, Purdue, UMass, etc)

Are you being recruited?
Or do you plan on being a walk on?
Will your parents pay for wherever you go? If not, then paying for school will be another concern.
Are you only considering D3? Would you consider being a walk on for D1 or D2?

Walk on, and only d3 because those schools are the most likely for me to make it on and play on.

D3, if I am not mistaken is necessarily non scholarship for athletes. There are ways around that with "generous financial aid".
en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_NCAA_Division_III_institutions - Cached - Similar
But don't be so hard on yourself. There are plenty of Division IAA (FCS) teams with excellent engineering programs: Villanova and Bucknell for example. They will take walkons frequently. So even if they dont load you up with a football scholarship, you can still make the team.
But if you want to PLAY....as in frequently on the field gametime, then DII or DIII may be your options.
Also look at VMI and Citadel.

Patriot League schools, including Bucknell, do not offer athletic scholarships for football. The League has made a special agreement with Fordham which will permit that school to offer "athletic merit" scholarships beginning this year, but Fordham will no longer be eligible to win the league championship. This situation is in constant flux so it is possible that my information is already dated.
As ghostbuster suggests there are many Division III schools who are very generous with financial aid for students they really want, including football players.

That might change some things. Are you currently taking engineering/related courses?
Are the grades at your current school good?
At many schools engineering majors start Day 1 of FY in the major because it requires so much. Transferring in might be more difficult than other majors, or if accepted and w/o prior courses, you may not get out in 4 years. Have you considered this? The extra expense?
Are you playing football now or will there have been a year away from it? If you are at a public IS, will your parents be willing to pay for a private? Can they? Virtually all, if not all the schools mentioned here are expensive privates. I haven't suggested one I know of because I don't think they take engineering transfers.
You have a lot to think about.
Sorry, just saw that you are not playing.
