It’s a burden because it is difficult to maintain a 3.5 (you can pretty much only make 1 B). Engineering is harder than most other disciplines so to maintain that kind of GPA is going to be that much harder. Kind of like HS - the kid who makes all As in AP courses vs the kid making all As in college prep courses. The main benefit is having course preference. With so many people taking the same courses, you will find it difficult to get in to the class of choice. Plus, Honors lets you make almost any course an Honors one by way of a “contract” between you and the professor. If you decide to do Honors, you have to take at least 1 or more Honors courses a year. The info is all there - basically you get course preference, it looks really good on your resume when you are looking for internships/coops, and you graduate with, Idk, a few extra bells and whistles in your cap and gown.
