UA and ASU appear to have similar reputations overall and for engineering (if you are concerned about how that affects campus recruiting, though location also affects campus recruiting), so you may want to choose between them based on:


If you have specific engineering interests better covered by one of them (they do not offer exactly the same majors, and the same department may have different subareas they emphasize).
Net price after financial aid and scholarships.
Size: ASU is nearly twice as large as UA; you may want to check whether that gives any advantages, like more course offerings or greater absolute number of high ability students.
Non-academic fit factors.
