He’s certainly got the academic and scores to be a competitive candidate at almost any school. Is he currently a Senior? Does he have schools in mind? Have him look at the top UCs and see which ones interest him.

Outside of that have him research a couple of different types of schools to see if you can narrow the scope of what he’s looking for.

Look at a few large public research based universities, schools like VA Tech, Purdue, Mich, GA Tech
Look at some schools like WPI that focus on project based learning, Northeastern (Co-op program), Case Western (research focused)
Look at some traditionally undergraduate focused engineering schools like Lehigh. Rose Hullman, Harvey Mudd…

Keep in the back of your mind that you are looking for the best school for him, not necessarily a list of the best engineering schools.
