[QUOTE="budahbuddy803, post: 7012361, member: 566041"] That makes some kind of sense to me. As someone hiring people, I personally, would prefer to look at how well the person applying for the job was able to learn the material and if he could reproduce what he learned which all related to grades. I believe what you are saying and have heard that from many others also. But, would you want someone analyzing the design of a bridge and its structural rigidness who got a 100% in the statics/dynamics class or the guy who squeezed by? There are plenty of examples recent and in the past of where the engineers of a design mess up and lives are at stake......... I agree that most employers most likely do not compare GPA's for certain positions, but trying to really think about it, I would not want to hire someone who barely understand statics/dynamics as someone who is going to review blueprints and tell me if the design is sturdy enough to support the cars I expect to travel on it.... That is something I was looking to hear. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I plan on seeing what kind of programs local school have for manufacturing technology. [/QUOTE]
