Any particular reason on the 7000 students or less?
Of your list, I have not had the opportunity to work with a lot of alumni from western schools, but I have consistently been impressed by Kettering students. This is likely because of the practical knowledge they bring to a job from their Co-Op background. I would also like to give high marks for Michigan Tech as to the quality of students they turn out. Though I have heard it takes a special kind of person to handle the winters way UP in the U.P.
Make sure you visit campuses and get a good feel for the schools. I have visited a a couple dozen Universities and they all have a unique feel, and a unique "quality" to them.
P.S. I went to Purdue, but it is too big for your criteria. Rose Hulman was near the top of my list when I was looking, but I am very glad I went to Purdue.
