Morphology
The meaning 'a school for engineering' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'engineering' (the discipline) with 'school' (an educational institution). This noun-noun compounding pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Engineering school is a simple name for a place that teaches engineering and technical subjects. It joins engineering (work with machines, design, and building) and school (a place to learn), so it means 'a college or place where people study to become engineers'.
