Which ACT scores better for engineering major?

Which of these two sets of scores is better for an engineering major, or should I send both?

December 2011:

Composite: 31
Math: 35
Science: 31
English: 32
Reading:27
Writing: 6

June 2012:

Composite: 34
Math: 32
Science: 34
English: 33
Reading: 34
Writing: 6

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Absolutely, my university, Illinois Institute of Technology, takes the best of the individual scores when considering merit scholarships.

Because of the higher math score in the first one, I would send both. Even if the school uses test with highest composite to determine admission, someone may note the higher math score in the first one, which is important for engineering, and they don't hold any lower scores against you.
