So I'm an engineering first year student at a pretty good uni. Problem is that grade deflation is fucking killer here and the average freshman GPA is like 2.7. And to make matters worse, mine will probably be slightly below that. Any general advice is welcome.
Stop getting things wrong.
I always say this to people starting engineering, if you can't handle the material in your first year or you feel it is overwhelming then drop out. No way you are going to survive 3rd and 4th year.
Also, understand that engineering is a very stressful degree. The workload is enormous, the pressure of getting good enough grades to not only pass but to do well so that you can potentially go to your masters and the fact it is damn expensive to enrol in goes to show you that it isn't a place to fuck around.
Either buck up or switch degrees anon. I know 5 guys who developed depression from.

It is obvious. You finish your degree and get a job in electrical engineering. What more needs to be said?

i lied though, it's actually closer to 2.6

if only it were that easy
