Engineering is a really good field for employment, so I imagine you can become an engineer coming out of almost any ABET-accredited engineering program. I don’t think prestige matters a lot (though I suppose prestige could always help you get a “better” job).

Not sure about medical.

I’d recommend checking out the following forums:

[Pre-Med & Medical School - College Confidential](Pre-Med & Medical School - College Confidential Forums)
[Engineering Majors - College Confidential](Engineering Majors - College Confidential Forums)

If you’re planning to get a PhD, the prestige of your grad school will matter more than the prestige of your undergrad school.
