2 Questions about engineering (as a freshman)

OOC do employers typically care about my prior community college course work or GPA? In my case? Is university going to be that much more rigorous then community college?

@umcoe16 I’d love the idea of using my summer doing something like studying abroad (since I planned on doing that eventually and I’m not too afraid of debt since I’ll be graduating with none. ) But I’m not sure yet if i’m going to take Physics Electrics and Optics over the summer or not.

And I am aware of the GPA requirement and I will give it my best to meet it. Right Now I am between 14 and 15 credits. My schedule is Calculus (4 hr), Physics Mech (4 hr), Engineering Foundations (2 hr), Singers (1 hr), and World Performance (3 hr) . If I did the research it would be with a professor that has a 100% 4.0 rate. And Choir and Performance have 80% 4.0 rates so I’m mainly worrying about 3 classes. And after finishing AP Calc last year I hope that I’m a little prepared for these three courses. So I didn’t think my GPA would be in much danger from doing research.
