Certainly, New York State has a variety of strong engineering programs, so you're in the right place!

Starting with some of the best, you have Cornell University in Ithaca, which is an Ivy League institution with a highly ranked engineering program. They offer degrees in everything from Chemical Engineering to Materials Science and Engineering.

Additionally, Columbia University in the City of New York offers an excellent engineering program via its Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science.

The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) is another strong contender that consistently excels in engineering, with particular strengths in areas like Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Their co-op program provides immersive industry experience which can be immensely beneficial.

Cooper Union, located in the heart of New York City, is another top-tier institution known for its rigorous engineering programs in areas such as Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

SUNY Binghamton is a public option to consider. Its Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science is known for quality education in various engineering realms.

Lastly, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY is a well-respected technical university with various engineering programs, including Industrial and Systems Engineering, Civil Engineering, and much more.

Each of these colleges offers unique opportunities, so I would recommend researching each one further to identify the best fit for you and your specific interests within engineering.
