Given your student’s interests, I recommend close examination of two institutions:
- Olin College of Engineering. My son went there. He did research on rockets and electric cars beginning as a freshman. Fantastic four years, great summer internships, and now full time job he loves.
- University of Alabama at Huntsville. If I had known what an amazing school, amazing bargain, and amazing tech location this was, we would have considered it. Destin Sandlin went there. You might know his youtube channel, "Smarter Every Day".
