[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I should specify, electrical/computer engineering type of major[/quote] In ECE at many engineering schools, the median undergrad GPA is curved to a 3.0. So about half of the class has a GPA below 3.0 at those schools. Many non STEM fields curve grades so that the median grade is 3.3 or even 3.5. There really is no comparison. Separately, in my engineering math courses, getting 50% correct was an A, getting maybe 40% correct was a B, and getting maybe 35% correct was a C. Engineering courses can have some pretty tough grading curves. It is a completely different world in an E School compared with many other fields. Focus on supporting any DC who are in Engineering school, emotionally and otherwise. Visit them. Provide moral support. Make sure their mental health is ok. E School students work much longer hours at college, after one factors in labs and higher Course loads. They have much less spare time to relax. [/quote]
