The tie, I think. I, too, would choose something more conservative.
also not a fan of the shiny buttons and non-matching jacket and pants, for an interview

guys he said it was engineering...so no style required whatsoever.
I have to disagree, an interview is an interview, even for an internship. I've been a grad student in the sciences, and the day-to-day dress code here is all over the place. I would, however, absolutely wear a conservative suit/tie to any interview.
If you're actually going to a university to interview with professors, I would strongly advise you to NOT wear a suit. It'll actually detract from your credibility. I wouldn't even wear a jacket at all. It's just not part of the culture and people would think you're weird and don't have a grasp of the academic culture. Not really a good first impression. It probably wouldn't kill your chances, but you're not going to get any positive points and it could certainly be a negative distraction.
Suit up!
Looks to trendy for interview attire.
I'm an electrical engineer. Wear a shirt, trousers and nice shoes. You don't need anything else. I can't think of an interview during which anybody in our company paid attention to what the interviewee was wearing. You are over-thinking this.
What does?
Thanks for the input. What is a BBBF?
Yes sir. I guess I'm going with you and pnin22, though the fear of overdressing is still there.
