I know a little bit about this so I'll pitch in.
Engineering PI's are very hard to get & are typically given to students who have graduated their Bachelors the previous semester or Grad students. They come from all across the country but because of recruitings high familiarity with local programs you may find a decent amount of PI's are graduates from Florida or California schools. Doesn't mean you have to be.
Above someone mentioned above doing a CP after her Sophomore year. I can't advise to do that. As an engineering student your daughter will be lucky to graduate in 4 years, the average engineering student does 8 semesters in total, some accomplish with summer classes for 2 years. Working for WDW/DL is a great opportunity and I'm not knocking the CP at all but as an engineering student who has to be the best of the best at that taking 6 months off to do the CP isn't feasible.
There's a great chance even after graduating that your daughter won't get a PI at Disney in Engineering. Don't be distraught, just remind her to go out and work somewhere else in her field and then reapply to work for the company. If Disney is her end game it doesn't have to be the entire road there.
Let me know if you have any questions! I am a current BS Industrial Engineering student at USF with a friends at many engineering schools and a few at WDW. Would be happy to answer any questions your daughter or you have about engineering programs.
