Why do people say that Engineering major is a "GPA killer"?

<p>I would actually argue that they’ve watered down the curricula because they have plenty of cocky dumb students of all stripes - not just engineers specifically - who refuse to think hard and insist on skating by with good grades. Let’s face it - it is now a well-established truism that certain majors, which overwhelmingly tend to reside in HASS, assign far higher grades for far less work than do other majors.</p>
