As @HardOREasy pointed out, admissions for LEP’s such as engineering are separate consideration from the general university admissions. Engineering is particularly competitive for direct/initial admission as an incoming freshman, but after you matriculate, internal transfer admission to engineering is guaranteed if you meet the “gateway” requirements satisfactorily.
I am a huge fan of Maryland engineering (and Maryland in general, haha) so I will of course give that my highest recommendation - definitely checks all the boxes of your D’s wish list! Since you mentioned that she loves people and wants to “save the world,” she would love Engineers Without Borders. They do awesome service projects around the world and Maryland has a very active chapter. http://www.ewb.umd.edu For info in general about Maryland engineering, check out http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-maryland-college-park/1732708-everything-you-want-to-know-about-engineering-at-maryland-p1.html
I would highly recommend that your daughter continue participation with the robotics team to “demonstrate interest in engineering” as that is definitely considered strongly with Maryland’s engineering admissions. Stats alone nor admission to the university in general does not ensure direct admission to engineering as space is limited.
For other recommendations of schools with good engineering programs that are not far, I would look at UDelaware for chemical engineering since Dow Chemical has a plant based in Newark, DE. How far outside of Maryland are you willing to look? Rutgers in Northern NJ and UVA have really good engineering programs. VTech obviously is good for engineering, but fwiw, my son was not interested in tech-based universities such as VTech or Georgia Tech due to lack of diversity in student body…
