What is your ACT breakdown, Math especially? Did you take any SAT subject tests since these are recommended for Engineering
majors?

You look good for CSULB, Cal Poly Pomona and SDSU. SLO will be a slight Reach.

For the UC’s, UCSC looks likely and possibly UCD, UCI and UCSB. UCSD, UCB and UCLA will be Moderate to High Reach schools. A lack of HS rigor could hurt unless your school does not offer many AP’s.

The admit rates below (most current) are not major specific so expect for Engineering to require above average stats and lower admit rates.

2018 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19 capped weighted and not major specific:
UCB: 10%
UCLA: 9%
UCSD: 34%
UCSB: 38%
UCD: 41%
UCI: 38%
UCSC: 70%
UCR: 84%
UCM: 95%

2019 UC capped weighted GPA averages along with 25th-75th percentile range:
UCB: 4.23 (4.15-4.30)
UCLA: 4.25 (4.18-4.32)
UCSD: 4.16 (4.03-4.28)
UCSB: 4.16 (4.04-4.28)
UCI: 4.13 (4.00-4.25)
UCD: 4.13 (4.00-4.26)
UCSC: 3.96 (3.76-4.16)
UCR: 3.90 (3.69-4.11)
UCM: 3.73 (3.45-4.00)

25th - 75th percentiles for ACT composite + language arts
UCB: 28-35
UCLA: 29-35
UCSD: 26-34
UCSB: 26-34
UCD: 24-33
UCI: 24-34
UCSC: 24-32
UCR: 21-30
UCM: 18-26

Best of luck and you have some good Match options.
