He may not have to attend a school that has engineering. There may be another reason he prefers the school without engineering. If that happens, he could be a physics major and take some engineering courses in the summer at another local school. He could also be a physics major and get a Masters in Engineering if he decides he wants an engineering job. The physics courses contain the fundamentals in mechanics etc just more theoretical not application specific. Physics is a great stepping stone for many careers.
