[quote=Anonymous]Most engineering programs grade most courses in a curve. Often, not always, the median is set at 3.0, which means half the class is getting less than a B. Engineering GPAs often are lower than humanities/arts GPAs at the same college. Engineering course grading curves can be very tough. I remember courses where 50% correct was an A+, 35% correct was a B and 25% correct was passing (barely). No one accidentally gets an engineering degree from any ABET engineering program. Rankings of engineering programs are largely meaningless. [/quote]
