@HPuck35 So does that mean if you were hiring an intern to do some HVAC work for example, would you consider hiring them if they got a C in heat transfer, but had research experience or an applied HVAC course where they got an A? Or is that uncommon?

And @NorthernMom61 I don’t know about every school, but most ABET schools should have 6 to 12 hours of technical elective wiggle room .Normally students may fill this up with research or co ops or internships or technical electives relating to industry. And you may end up with more room if you bring in college credit or take classes over summer . And due to how structured pre-reqs tend to be at ABET schools, a student may end up need to take extra classes just to say a full time student . (But I go to Texas A&M so I don’t know if every school is this flexible)

The thing is, classes like research are technical electives are supposed to be saved for senior year where you GPA, doesn’t matter (in terms of jobs you are applying for that Fall / spring) since you will finish applying to jobs before your GPA is released. (Or that is my understanding at least)
