Man, there's a lot to your story that hits close to home for me. I've been down the engineering road before, heard the speech "look to your left and right... one of the three of you won't be back" My situation at the time was that I didn't care about being there, wasn't happy with it and didn't try, which led to me failing out of it. I was devistated at the time, especially with the thought of explaning things to my family. But hey, shit happens, as long as you learn from it and move on, life goes on. Hard to see right now being right in it, but believe me it will pass. I knew that it wasn't for me and I moved onto business where I did a great job and was much happier. I look back on that whole part of my life now with humor.
My fiance is just graduating from Med School, smart girl. I can understand how you might not know how to tell her your situation. You can be sure that she's a smart girl and that if you explain to her what happened and why, she'll be able to understand and help you out.
Things will move on from here. Don't let it get you down, sounds like you've got a lot going for ya.
Good luck
