I would not. Orgo plus two maths plus what is likely your first real ChemE class = brutal. I actually took calc 3 over the summer after freshman year so that I didn’t have to take it and DiffEq at the same time.

This is an outstanding idea. Because ChemE is so hard, you would do yourself a lot of good if you would take one or both maths over the summer. DiffEq and maybe Calc3 will also probably help with Material and Engery balances - i.e. you will have a competitive advantage in the course. This is a great thing to do after Freshman year because you really don’t know enough to get an internship, and really smoking the sophomore ChemE classes will put you in a great position to get a good co-op, internship or REU after sophomore year. The downfall of many ChemEs is overloading.
