Computer Science is in the College of Letters and Sciences at UW-Madison, not the engineering school. I do not associate the field with engineering any more than math, physics, et al are. Get your son involved in deciding where he wants to go. Have him do the homework, ie coming up with lists of what he wants/doesn’t want in a school. Get the US News and World Reports college issue as a list of colleges that is not an overwhelming book. Make sure it is his college search, not yours. And remember there are many good schools that will suit him, a good fit is a school which interests him.
