This was something important to my son as well, as he was very unsure about engineering and was also considering data science majors. In your search, I’d also note colleges where you can easily switch majors, it may work even without a general First Year Engineering curriculum. The biggest issue is a school with impacted majors obviously. There is a ton of overlap in the first year with pretty much all the engineering majors requiring calculus, physics and chemistry. My son started in Mechanical, switched to Chemical before ultimately landing on Electrical and Computer Engineering. Had no problem graduating in 4 years.
