Our state flagship has Engineering Open House each year. This event is huge and very informative, it is aimed at future engineering students. Maybe universities near you have the same event?
If not, there is another way to tell. All engineering majors (except maybe CS) require a lot of hands-on work. Is your son enjoying it? Does he repair everything in your house? Is he the first one who disassembles your broken vacuum?
