I would say Tufts is the better choice for your son. He can major in engineering and either do a second major or minor in whatever interests him. I feel pretty confident that such an approach would put him in a far better position to have a good job after college than going to Oberlin.
Also, there really is no comparison in terms of location. If he likes the idea of an LAC campus, and is content to stay in that community, then Oberlin is fine. But if he wants the option of an LAC atmosphere or venturing into a really fun and exciting urban area, then Tufts is the much better choice on that front as well.
