GPA matters to some employers. Does it matter to the student?

I am constantly amazed ASCE still has to bring this issue up using buzz words. Apparently U.S. News & Wold Report's university rankings are horrendous and engineers have been going to the wrong schools for the past 40 years. I was taught "sustainability" principles as a part of the overall curriculum ...

Not to sound snarky but a big issue / reason almost every discussion about this subject ignores is the industry doesn't need more managers. The ratio of managers to staff requires a natural decrease simply because there are less positions. One manager to 10 to 15 positions, means that even if all the ...
