<p>If I’m not mistaken, isn’t chemical engineering one of the majors that many students take 5 years to complete? Your roadmap is based on 4 years - I’m pretty sure that would be for students doing the 4-year pledge.</p>
<p>If I didn’t see that it’s set out like that on your roadmap, I would say 19 is way too many. Unless you have to squeeze everything in because you’re doing a 4-year pledge, I wouldn’t want to take that many in one quarter. Spread it out a bit. Like you said, Cal Poly is on a quarter system, not semester. My experience with the semester system is that it’s slower and there’s more time to cover material. At least for the first quarter, I don’t think you should take any more than 15 or 16 units. But like I said, if you’re on the 4-year pledge then you don’t have much of a choice since that’s how your roadmap is set up.</p>
