If your son wants Aerospace engineering, why not apply (transfer) from SBU to Buffalo where they have a great engineering program and offer both Mechanical and Aerospace engineering majors. Son just graduated in May 2014 with a BS in Aero and a BS in Mechanical. Focused and worked diligently and completed these 2 majors in 4 years. Great job fair at UB for summer internships and employment. Great opportunities at UB.

SBU and UIUC are great options of course.

Grades, though they can be high, may not be. Engineering is a tough major. Keep it in prospective.
