depends on What your overall GPA was for engineering classes. If you had perfect 4.0 in non-eng classes but 2.5 in your major classes than the GPA sucks.

Most companies don't care about GPA - there was a big thread about it last week. Of course that involves hiring everyone (not just engineers). I've personally heard that companies that hire engineers generally don't differentiate between 3.25 and 4.0 (meaning you are the same in their eyes as long as you beat the 3.25). Below that point, you might hurt your chances but not by much. It isn't until you are below the 2.5 mark that you really run into trouble getting that first job.
<- Would have been devistated if Dullard only got 3.5 in his engineering majors as that would have meant the loss of many scholarships. My first (and only) real job never asked GPA and it isn't on my resume either.

brag? LOL
the prob is that my school is a community college and this gpa is the result of 2 yrs. i am planning to transfer to another school and not too much optimistic with this gpa (cuz a couple friends of mine got 4.0, make me feel so puny tiny)

another vote for depends on the school/program.
at my college, 3.5 would have been considered slightly above average. I know of some schools and programs, though, where anything above a 3.0 is considered great.

i still have a long way to go before the real graduation (3 more years in a 5 year university). the university i want to go is Drexel - if you want to know. however i am afraid cuz i heard rumor that the slope of GPA is often going down, or not going up much, when you transfer from a 2 yr collge to a 4 yr university. is that true
i would think someone with a 3.5 in engineering would have enough common sense to know that its a good GPA
yah, it is mostly GE courses like math, physics, chem, english, sociology, economic, and some engineering courses (4 i guess, and 3 of them are kinda another versions of the physics courses)
A 3.5 is good in any major, especially Engineering. I had a 3.4 in Business, and Intel hired me right out of school, despite rumors that they don't consider anyone below a 3.8. Engineering school is greuling. I would say anything above 3.0 is pretty good, 3.5 is great, and above 3.5 is crazy.
