I am applying to NYU or tufts for mechanical engineering in ed. I want to apply EA NO RESTRICTIVE as well. CAN’T find any good engineering universities with ea. Yeah i know MIT has it, but that’s too much of a stretch. 
Thankyou for your help
Here are a few EA engineering programs: Case, WPI, Villanova, GA Tech (Deadline may already have passed), many Catholic schools have EA. Some schools may let you apply EA if you apply to no school ED. For example, Notre Dame is restrictive EA.
Northeastern
Michigan, Purdue are Nov 1 for EA. ED and SCEA schools let your apply EA to public universities, or to meet scholarship considerations at all universities.
every reply is helpful. thanks alot
can we apply to more than one ea nonrestrictive?
Michigan is extremely highly ranked for Engineering (#6 on US news I believe) and also EA
Non-restrictive means you can apply to as many as you want.

What do you consider good? There are so many.
UIUC
U Wisc
Texas A & M
Rose Hulman
Case western (and its free)
UWisco too
Case Western!!
The early actions I applied to were GaTech and Texas A&M, both of which had October 15th deadlines.
Most EA schools require an application (sometimes transcript and scores to be sent in) by mid-October to early-November.
You’re cutting it close if you want to apply Early Action
Case isn’t really that highly ranked for Engineering compared to the other schools mentioned in this thread.
Case is still ranked higher than NYU and Tufts, the OP’s ED school, so it is highly ranked, relatively speaking. 
I think Purdue University-West Lafayette also has EA.
Purdue is rolling admissions. You must apply and have all materials in by Nov.1 to be considered for merit scholarships. Since they are rolling admission their engineering school while quite large can get filled up so its best to apply early.
Case is a much better engineering school than NYU or Tufts. Plus the OP says MIT is too much of a stretch. My son graduated from Case with a math degree. All of his friends with engineering degrees are employed in professional jobs. All of them. Case has a great reputation among employers, has non restrictive EA, gives good merit scholarships, is well regarded as an engineering school, and has a free app.
Unless you really want to go to NYU, I’d pick another school for engineering (such as those mentioned).
Also UVa.
WPI also
