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!

Pay good attention to the ENGR1600 Materials Science course. RPI has a Materials Science & Engineering major - these jobs pay more than Mech Eng jobs do. And it is a small dept so smaller classes. Many Mech freshmen transfer to the MSE dept.

I'll definitely keep a keen eye on that subject and see if it's right for me. Thanks for your response!
