<p>Okay, if you plan on Engineering, it's very important that you take the courses as a freshman that freshmen at the transfer U usually take. You can have a little variation, but the Engineering freshman curriculum is pretty set.</p>
<p>Your plan looks pretty much right on target. Check out, though, whether you should be taking Chemistry. Many Engineering curricula have Calc, Physics, Chem, Intro to Engineering in the first year. Rounding out this schedule can be Programming (C++ or ???), English/Writing Intensive. Often, Engineering freshmen don't take any electives in humanities/social sciences that first year.</p>
<p>Like I say, it's not hard and fast, but it will really help your chances to have the freshman reqs from your new school out of the way. It will help you once you get there, but it will also increase your chances of admission. Some schools won't admit you into Engineering as a soph unless you've completed their freshman reqs.</p>
<p>Most engineering students take a heavier credit load than other majors - it's just a by-product of the lab sciences they have to take. 16-18/semester is kind of typical. Not a hard and fast rule. Most important is to take the right classes - the number of credits will just fall into place.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
