Hey OP,

My son, at this point as a freshman at MIT, is planning on majoring in math and physics and is considering a minor in nuclear engineering, but he won’t need to declare anything until the end of sophomore year. Those plans are subject to change!

Perhaps your son could do something similar with a minor in some sort of engineering? I know many universities require students to apply directly to the engineering school but maybe your son can have a few schools on his list that don’t have that requirement.
