ngineering knowledge should be measured on whether you can build and design technical products, not whether you can simply solve math.



Someone who might very much endorse this concern is rocketDA from the HMC threads, who believed he knows almost if not precisely no awesome real life engineers with a 3.7+ GPA from HMC, but certainly a decent number with lower.

I don’t know how true all of this is, but I have to say it sounds plausible to me, if I look at the engineers I know, because some of the really good ones (as in at actual design) even have the capability of doing fast math simply because they’re sharp, but don’t study excessive hours for engineering exams since they don’t believe it’s worth the effort, and thus have decent GPAs, no more.
