What are some all-around good engineering schools /sci/?

I've looked at:

<span class="math">\bullet[/spoiler] Penn State University
<span class="math">\bullet[/spoiler] University of Pennsylvania
<span class="math">\bullet[/spoiler] Carnegie Mellon University
<span class="math">\bullet[/spoiler] Massachusetts Institute of Technology
<span class="math">\bullet[/spoiler] Northwestern University
<span class="math">\bullet[/spoiler] Wilkes University
<span class="math">\bullet[/spoiler] Temple University

Any other places? UPenn and MIT may be long shots but the others are definitely in reach. Pennsylvania and the northeast is a preference but not a must. I'm interested in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, etc.
