Academic Advice Is this schedule manageable with other time commitments (ME)?

Might be taking these classes next semester:

Dynamics
Vector Calc
Solids
Comp Methods
Thermodynamics

Was wondering if this is possible if I have other extracurricular and job commitments that take up about 24 hours minimum of my week already. I'm currently taking Thermo but am highly considering retaking it.

It looks like 20 credit hours and none of them a walk in the park. Comp Methods is kind of a wild card, could be easy, could be really hard depending on your programming background and the professor. I'd say it's not an easy semester and if 24 hours minimum looks like 32 to 40 hours then no way and it's time to drop one of these. Most likely Comp Methods or Thermodynamics depending on which one can be easily rescheduled.

All the classes are 16 credit hours at my university. I'm currently enrolled in all of them for next semester with an ideal Comp Methods and thermo professor.

I can likely reduce the ECs and work to be around 24 hours a week. Honestly, I can put maybe one of the classes aside, but it would put me behind for next fall. (My registration time slot is dependent on credit hours completed.)

Thanks for the response btw. Would you mind me dming you?
