I thought about 3-2 programs as well. The caveat is that admission to these program is not guaranteed. I think one would be better off going straight to a school with an engineering department if one plans to major in engineering.

Everyone who ever successfully applied to a 3-2 program from my own college was a math or physics major. Not sure if that’s because prospective engineering majors are naturally drawn to technical majors, or if the engineering schools discriminate against liberal arts majors with minimum science background.
