You don't need to be a natural problem solver to be good in engineering school. If you are, then that's great, but a lot us have to practice a lot to get the hang of it.
Asking questions is nothing to be ashamed of, it's a natural part of the learning process. Even people who get high GPAs ask questions. Everyone needs to practice in engineering school and do their homework to understand the concept.
Engineering requires a lot of thinking and practice. You can't do well if you don't practice your homework on regular basis.
What i am trying to say is, asking questions is normal, in fact you should always ask questions if you don't understand something.
I have friends who got mid 80s in high school and are doing very well in engineering. Are they natural problem solvers? Heck no! They used to study a lot in high school...they carried the good habits to university and got good grades here at mac eng.
Engineering is about thinking and practice. When you graduate from engineering you won't be able to build a skyscraper, you need lots of engineering practice in order to build such a structure. Same thing with university..you won't be able to get a high GPA if you don't practice a lot!
Also, don't listen to people who tell it's impossible to get a high gpa in engineering. If you practice a lot and manage your time well, you should have no problem getting a high gpa.
