| 17 technical units depends a lot on which classes you are actually taking. physics/math/chem/bio classes are 4 units, but almost all engineering classes are 3 units or less (or at least almost all of MechE classes). For example, engineering 28, 45, 77 are 3 units, and engineering 36 is 2 units. These are MechE lower-div pre-req classes. Upper div classes are no different in terms of units. And yes these classes actually take more time than other classes. For example I'm spending more time on engineering 45 than math 54 and physics 7a combined. e45 = 3 units, m54+p7a = 8 units |
