UAH recently changed their Charger Excellence merit scholarship. The tests score have gone up and the housing is only for 2 years instead of 4 years. My DS had taken 3 visits and had said that he was about 97% sure that is where he was going. Now he wants to visit UA, UAB, and Florida State.
Would Webb Institute qualify? Every admitted student receives full tuition. They only offer one degree Naval Architecture and Marine Egineering, BS (abet accredited) tiny incoming class sizes of 25 or so. "current enrollment of only 94 students"
With no geographical preference and assuming the same quantum of financial aid, could someone please suggest which one of the below is preferable solely based on the quality of its ENGINEERING department and reputation with industry i.e. ability to get a job later.

If the student is interested in an engineering major, check if the desired major exists at each school (some do not have any engineering majors).
Also, some of the scholarships have changed (in recent years, changes have generally been less favorable to the student, as in scholarships getting smaller, requiring higher thresholds, changing from automatic to competitive, no longer being offered at all, etc.). Check on school web sites to see what the current offerings are.
