<p>Fall:
-Linear Algebra
-Engineering Physics I+ lab
-Engineering Statics
-Bio I+ lab.</p>
<p>Does this seem overloading? That is 20 credits. Or should I put off Linear Algebra?</p>
<p>Winter:
-Diff Eq.
-Calc 3
-Engineering Physics II+ Lab
-Engineering Fluids
-Bio II+lab</p>
<p>I need to cut out a course for sure, there is no way I am taking 25 credits.</p>
<p>Fall semester seems fine to me, nothing really too bad. In the winter, hold off on Calc 3, and you should be good to go. </p>
<p>Best wishes,

<p>Why are you taking Statics and Physics at the same time? Normally Physics is a requisite. Also, yes, 20 hours is absolutely ridiculous to take at once. How, though, is that 20 hours? Normally those are 4 credit hour courses and that would make it 16hrs. </p>
<p>Calc 3 really isn’t too bad if you have a good Phys 1 teacher, just a lot of dot, cross, projections and the such. If you are going to drop something…drop something with a lab. Free up some time.</p>
<p>^, I go to a quarter system school. Each class is 5 credits.</p>
<p>The Statics class has a prereq of either; physics I or calc 2.</p>
<p>So I got the calc 2 portion just about done.</p>
<p>I have no clue how you can take statics w/o physics1.</p>
<p>Yeah, you really need the exposure of Phys 1 for statics, I feel (and apparently the two engineering schools I have been to feel that way too). Calc 2 is also needed because you do use integration and the such, but it is needed in ADDITION too phys 1 and only lightly. I would personally push statics to the 2nd semester and take it with calc 3 as there will be a lot of overlap with vectors and projections and all that mess.</p>
<p>I don’t know why you all seem to think that you can’t take statics without physics. I did the exact opposite and I would say that taking statics first made physics I immensely easier for the first chapters concerning pulleys, systems in equilibrium, moments of inertia, torque/moment, center of mass, etc.</p>
<p>I will say that I had to shake the habit of setting the sum of forces to zero all the time :-p</p>
<p>statics is the first physics class many engineers take at my school too, it’s either statics/dynamics or physics 1, and then physics 2.</p>
<p>I took Statics same time with physics, wasn’t a problem. Actually did better in statics lol</p>
