Colleges 'engineering' change

I read a summary of your article which appeared in the ASEE on-line newsletter about producing well- rounded engineers. There is a story I read many years ago that an official of the newly formed Carnegie Mellon University was giving the poet, Robert Frost, a tour of the campus and explaining their purpose was to produce a "well-rounded" engineer, to which Robert Frost asked "why, do you want to roll them down hill?"

My son is a high schol senior who wants to study engineering and also play football. We have been researching smaller schools (non D1) that offer an engineering degree and are finding a limited number. Is there a list anywhere of these smaller schools that you mentioned who are adding engineering degrees to their curriculum? We have found several that offer a 3-2 degree with bigger schools but would rather find a school with a 4 year Engineering degree. So far Ohio Northern, University of Dayton, SUNY Maritime seem to have the best programs.
