I've read this thread and a few similar ones on different forums, and thought I'd finally give my thoughts on the question. As a degreed engineer from a university that many would consider "lesser" I had no problem getting a job with above a 3.0 GPA while working my way through college. I also recruited, hired, mentored, and managed engineers for an engineering leadership program for a very large multinational corporation. When it comes to hiring, one of my managers gave me the following advice, "If the candidate is graduating with an engineering degree and has a GPA above a 3.50, we know they can learn. What we need to know is whether or not the candidate can play nicely in the sandbox with the other 'kids.' We can teach them whatever they need to know, we can't teach them how to work well with others."
When it comes to a school, let me back you up and ask you a question about your son. Is he the hands on type that likes to get dirty or does he prefer to sit back at a computer and let someone else do the dirty work?
