Hey, thanks for all the help guys.
Since I want to do research each trimester (hopefully, I know it’s hard for freshmen to get research jobs, but I have a pretty good experience in research in HS, including some major awards, so I think I should have a good shot getting one), I altered my schedule a bit.

Fall:
IHUM, CME 100, ENGR 31, Physics 45. (17 credits)

Winter:
IHUM, CME 102, PHysics 41, Introsem (16)

Spring:
IHUM, PWR, CME 104, Physics 43 (17).

I decided to drop CS because it doesn’t seem to be THAT essential to either Materials Science OR Electrical Engineering. I still want to keep CHem 31X or ENGR 31 because I am fairly comfortable with taking math/physics/chem all together. I think I should be able to handle that work since I know a few people who did that freshman year fall term, and i believe they have similar math/science abilities as I do.

Instead of trying to take the most units each quarter, I’m now trying to leave space for research or perhaps an on-campus job (and of course, other activities like clubs)

Again, thanks to everyone who responded to this thread!
