At lots of engineering schools the students grade point can drop a half to full grade from high school during their first semester or year. This is normal.

The above statement is probably more generalized to college (hence the strikethrough above), rather than just for engineering majors. Students going to college right out of high school were probably mostly 3.0-4.0 students in high school. But those who eventually graduate get redistributed across the 2.0-4.0 GPA range in college. So lots of students who go to college will have lower college GPA than high school GPA.
