The answer: It varies.

More and more engineering majors are taking more semesters to graduate mainly because they want to protect that GPA. Now they can still finish in 4 calendar years if the student takes classes during the summer.

I know my cousin had most of his general education courses during the summer because they are offered much more than engineering courses. He would take one 3-credit course during summer session 1 and another during summer session 2. That left him only needing 12-13 credit Fall and Spring Semesters which was usually 3 courses and some lab.

Depends on the student.
