@mommamia26‌ - quality of professors is high. Learning environment is a bit broad to answer as asked.

Princeton is a large research University, so a lot of energy, focus, teaching and research goes into graduate students. Undergrads at all research universities benefit from the research in many ways, but it also comes at a price. Undergrads see less of their professors than they do at smaller schools. Graduate students will handle much of the heavy lifting for undergrad classes, and will get the choice research assignments.

You should also note that engineering has it’s own rankings and reviews by school and program. Ivy League tends to mean a bit less to engineering than it would for humanities or arts. In the end, unless it’s MIT or Stanford, an Ivy League diploma caries a great deal more cache than the state research universities.
