Neither of those if you want to work in industry - explore a bit more in a few more years. Focus on getting good GCSEs for now.
you have lots of time, don't worry at all. factors to consider are: cost, distance from home, cost of accommodation, course quality, uni facilities and quality of public transport. Also have you considered or looked into apprenticeships? they can be very good for engineering and give good career prospects if you decide that uni isn't for you. (I decided to do engineering in year 9 but now I am in year 12 and have been researching into uni alternatives- you don't have to go to uni!) don't stress, go on a uni visit to find out more.
