Virginia Tech immediately comes to mind. It’s got an engineering focus, solid reputation, powerful alumni network, and there is a huge focus on sports and fun. Beautiful campus. You don’t need to be a genius to get in but it does get harder every year. I’d rank it just below the heavy hitters in the world of engineering schools.
