He is hoping to double major in computer science and mechanical engineering. (I’m not sure if that is good idea?)

I don’t think this is even remotely realistic. Maybe if he plans on being an undergrad for 5-6 years. But don’t take the word of some anonymous poster on the internet, me or anyone else. Have your son (not you, he needs to own the search here IMHO and if he can’t/won’t than that’s telling you something right there) contact the undergrad CS advisor or undergrad ME advisor at a couple of the schools on his list. This is his idea, these are his schools, let him do the investigation of his plan. Have him ask if this is advisable or even possible.
