My son is a freshman engineering student and a member of the Honors Program. A significant percentage of Honors students are from the School of Engineering (they quoted the percentage, but I can’t remember exact number). So far, requirements seem attainable. AP credits help by freeing up space in the schedule. I understand that the advisors/leadership of the Honors Program advise Engineering students in planning their schedules because there is a shared goal to have engineers complete the requirements and graduate in honors. There are perks, housing and social connections, priority registration that are enticing. The honors sections of courses can also be desirable because they are smaller and taught by exceptional professors. I would suggest starting in honors, and seeing how it goes.
