I would recommend the following in order of priority (I have been Librarian at premier Engg colleges before & now working for a corporate) based cost & on the possibility of justifying it to Management: NetLibrary- database of ebooks Safari Online - database of ebooks EBSCO Science & Technology (you can share it with your Sc. College too) Engineering Village ACM Digital Library You can also create an Elibrary with FindArticles, Ingenta & links to Enggg journals & buy ecopies of requested articles by paying per view, instead of annual subscriptions. You can for a Library Committee of Senior students & volunteer faculty to do selections regularly.

A fair number are listed at PerX Listing of Engineering Repository Sources http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/perx/sourceslisting.htm and many commercial databases in engineering are listed in http://www.saur.de/index.cfm?id=0000010424 and also in the more recent http://www.amazon.com/Engineering-Literature-Routledge-Studies-Informati on/dp/0824729641 Though it doesn't restrict itself to journal content, TechXtra http://www.techxtra.ac.uk/ might be useful to you, as it cross-searches 31 different collections (databases) in technology, and thereby facilitates access to over 4 million items on technological subjects, many (but by no means all) of which are freely available in full text.
