[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like engineering schools are probably losing competent students just because the kids and their parents are used to inflated HS GPAs, believe a B is the equivalent of an F, and think a freshman year GPA of 3.0 means they’re “bad at engineering.”[/quote] I do wonder though if many good well rounded students wind up pursuing engineering just because they got good grades in HS math - I mean not everyone who can get an A in HS Calculus is ready to be an engineer. I guess the question is what does a parent do about a kid in engineering who can't manage a full course load and fails a fairly standard high level course...do they bail before its gets worse or try to grind through in the hopes that they can make it through and the actual career will be heavy on other skills?[/quote]
