The best schools for engineering in the US according to US News include University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, MIT Boston, Caltech California. However, any University offering an undergraduate bachelors degree in engineering is a good career choice as there is a current shortage of engineers in industry.

G. Mark’s Answer
I'd be expected to name the top schools in the nation -- MIT, Stanford, Berkely, CMU, etc., but the fact of the matter is that while a top school will get you some notice for your first job, it becomes less and less important as the years go on. Your performance and your ability to solve problems will get you success. So I would recommend a school that is 1) accredited, 2) accessible, and 3) affordable. Then your effort will make it a "good school" in that you'll get out of it what you put in.
Now, for a practical approach, I recommend you get a list of schools that meet those three criteria I listed, and read about them and their campus environment. These are personal criteria that you'll be best apt to determine yourself. Because if you apply yourself at any school, it will look a lot better for you than flunking out of MIT.

These schools are not just renowned for their exceptional graduate/research programs that collaborate closely with the industry, but they are also favored by local employers. This is because the talent pipeline from these schools is typically well-established and easily accessible.
Another significant advantage is the potential for cost savings. If you manage to qualify for in-state tuition, you could save thousands. So, don't hesitate to explore these opportunities, as they could be the stepping stones to your successful career in engineering.
