As an undergraduate, I preferred courses taught by TAs over ones taught by professors because the TAs were recent students themselves and often knew how to explain it. Experienced professors tended to forget how to explain it very well.

My suggestion would be for your son to visit each school and go to the one he likes the best and can financially afford. The most important thing is that he graduates in engineering (2 out of 3 engineering majors drop out before getting the degree), and going to the school he likes the best will help.
