Yes, prestige is important, but if he ever plans on obtaining a professional engineer's license at any point of time, ABET accredidation is critical. Unfortunately, there is no way around it through years of experience, etc. Most of the companies I work with won't even interview you unless you have at least an EIT/FE if you're doing any sort of engineering design work that a PE is offered for.
Going to school for computer engineering to be able to work in that field is one thing, but to work as a licensed engineer at any point of time is another animal. Its important to make that clarification early on.
