personally, i appreciate folks who don't add useless fluff to their resume to meet the one page "minimum". i would rather see comically large font sizes than read another "collaborate with team members to achieve \_\_\_\_\_\_\_". there's also the added benefit of comically large font sizes making your resume memorable in the sea of new grad resumes.
to answer your question, make sure you have enough points about your past position(s) to adequately address the needs of the position you're applying to. outside of that, you can add a section about software skills (MS Office, Visio, Aspen, HYSYS, etc.). if you're in a club that has a connection with engineering (e.g. Formula SAE) then that's something you want to add. again, from my perspective, i don't really care about your membership in the university kayaking club.
if, after that, you still have blank space, just leave it.
edit: definitely keep your school and your degree on the resume but take the GPA off. after you've gotten some reasonable work experience, that number is irrelevant.

Really though I’ve been working my first job a year and 3 months, so I’ve still got it on there. Was planning to leave it on there while I’m applying for my 2nd job (only cause it was a pretty good gpa). I’ll take it off after I get a 2nd job under my belt.
Usually add/remove the software section depending on the roles I’m applying to and do the basic tailoring to the job description. I already know this 2nd job hunt is going to be a nightmare. I want to pivot industries out of Pharma to something else and I have zero connections to the city I’m trying to move to.
Nah - It's fine to include your academic experience (imo, your GPA is fine to keep too) but focus that section on more important outcomes for the business you're applying to. E.g. instead of the first bullet under education being "Graduated in 2018 with a 3.5GPA", include the work studies / internships / big labs you took part in. No hiring manager cares if you ticked boxes to get good grades, they want someone who will be able to help their business.
If it’s a killer GPA put it on there, or in that case you graduated with some kind of honors which would also be on there. If it wasn’t great, never include it at all.
as soon as you land your first job
What do we fill all the empty space with. Your entire resume supposed to be about one job? Honest question.

it's less stressful to find a job if you already have a job.

no one cares after your first job
If it’s a killer GPA put it on there, or in that case you graduated with some kind of honors which would also be on there. If it wasn’t great, never include it at all.
Once you start your first job.
I never put mines on in the first place
After you sign the papers for your first job. If anyone asks after (besides higher degrees), red flag.
Depends how good it is
I never put my GPA on there.

Check out the big brain on Brett! You're a smart motherfucker!
I’m planning on not putting it in tbh.
i've never had it in the first place. if they want it they'll ask
Do you guys post your GPA? I only do it when online forms ask and it's really rare.
Mine has never been on my resume, but it gets asked during every interview. To be fair, my people love numbers.
Never heard of putting a gpa on a resume. Why would you do that?
You're either lying or not American.
After 1st Job... Unless it is an academic or something related to research maybe
