There is definitely grade deflation at GT, but that is also typical of engineering schools. This should not affect you if you are not on scholarship or for grad school because GT's policies are well known. That being said, many students are on Zell Miller scholarships so students are very serious. All engineering schools emphasis collaboration and teamwork because that is what engineers do. IMO, GT is more cutting edge in its outlook.
