Non engineer here. The wording likely means if you fail a class and retake it you don’t need to count the failed credits in calculating your gpa- the university will use all courses taken, whether passed or not, to calculate your gpa. Hopefully you will get better grades than a 2.0 average, no matter how calculated. Those are minimum standards, the vast majority of students pursuing the degree won’t need to worry about them. If you have the ability and interest to become a mechanical engineer you are not likely to need to worry about the minimum requirements. All C’s without any D’s, or at least some B or better courses and a D will suffice. Can you imagine yourself never getting any B’s or A’s in a major you like? Probably not.
