C- now a failing grade in engineering

Columbia_Student: You’re right we don’t officially have a senior project but everyone is required to take a design course in their pathway (or concentration). For example, I am in the Signals and Systems pathway and chose to take a Digital Signal Processing Design course where we worked on a project in teams throughout the quarter. In some universities I think this would be called a Capstone course.

In my experience at UCLA upper div EE courses, the curve is set at around B- and the lower students get only a C+ at worse, although this depends on the professor. The worst I encountered was a student getting a D but that’s because the professor was pretty strict about grading. I would say it’s quite possible for an average student to get a B in most of the upper-div EE courses here at UCLA without trying to hard.

BTW the average EE gpa at UCLA is around 3.0-3.1 I believe.
