College Confidential seems to prize Engineering Degrees more than they are prized IRL. I think you can graduate with below a 3.0, sure. But then you will want to back that up with an MBA or some other diversion. Engineering is all about efficiency and productivity; and competence, knowledge, thoroughness, and persistence are measured and valued throughout your career, week-by-week, month-by-month. If you are looking for an analytical/quantitative basis for doing something else, sure, “'C’s get degrees”.
