This subject and Stanford transfers have been covered over and over, use the search function for detailed posts.

Long story short, Stanford takes very, very few transfers but does take the occasional CC student. You would absolutely need much higher SAT scores, check with Stanford about whether the retake needs to be before you begin college.

After that do whatever it takes to get a couple of your profs to say you are one of the most exceptional students they ever taught. Be very active at the CC seeking leadership positions. Try to do research in your area of interest.

Getting into Berkeley, which is equally respected for engineering, will be much, much easier and won’t require the big SAT effort.
