You will probably not be able to find the stats for your daughters school specifically. However, it is fairly easy to find national data, or data at some other schools. In general, GPA’s for engineering students will be considerably lower at most schools. You can’t quote me on this, but I believe the actual difference nationally is around .4 lower than overall university averages. I know that Berkeley has their stats available, and theirs is in the .5 range. Nationally, it will be slightly less, but if your daughter goes to a school known for engineering, there will most likely be a large difference.
