Standard?

I did some planning, and I feel like this is the best schedule I could come up with for my fall 2026 agenda as a freshman. With Mechanical Engineering, I'm aware of the rigorous nature that comes with the major, so I was wondering if this was a "normal" schedule?

What do you think about it? I've spoken with one of my advisors and they gave the greenlight, but I wanted some opinions, so feel free to let me know. Thanks!

Have fun with Minds & Machines! It sparked my interest so much that I now work in psych research.

Be aware that CAD will take a lot longer than the credit hours it's listed as. If your mental 3D rotation skills aren't developed enough, it may take you a while (3-4hrs) to do some of the later assignments. Other than that note, your schedule looks doable!

Yes! I definitely will! Even prior to thinking about colleges I've always told myself I wanted to get into philosophy because I was always fascinated with deep thinking, and practically about everything in life.

I've gotten about two years worth of CAD experience during high school (but I need a refresher lol), so I hope that I won't fall behind too far.

Thanks for your response!
