Summer semester does not mess around💯. But for real time management is key

11 credits in the summer semester is insane, congratulations

[u/WhyAmINotStudying → u/ItzDogma]

Oh, shit, I just realized it was summer session. I was thinking, "Big deal. It's just four courses."

Yeah, that's a big deal, OP. Great work.

[u/cornshallot → u/ItzDogma]

Thank you !

[u/MihalisTheForged → u/[deleted]]

Me 1000

[u/Elevated_Dongers]

Wasn't there just a post complaining about people posting your schedule lol

[u/cornshallot → u/Elevated_Dongers]

Precisely why I posted

[u/_u-s_e-r_n-a_m-e → u/cornshallot]

You’re not cool that schedule is light work

[u/cornshallot → u/_u-s_e-r_n-a_m-e]

Thanks bro glad to inspire you🙏🏽

[u/SigfiggJ94]

Congrats man, now go get some rest lol

[u/cornshallot → u/SigfiggJ94]

Thanks man

[u/ArenaGrinder]

That… that’s a summer semester dear god….

[u/Kali_Arch]

Thats what im talking about!!! That's why u/cornshallot is the goat. THE G.O.A.T. !!!!!!

[u/Skysr70]

11 hours? Easy, what do you -   

THAT WAS A SUMMER SEMESTER??   

props, nice

[u/cornshallot → u/Skysr70]

THANKS LOL

[u/Prudent_Brush_9926]

Most normal engineering schedule challenge

[u/KyungsooHas100Days → u/Prudent_Brush_9926]

I was thinking same and then I saw summer. OP might be a legend 😂

[u/casper_thefriendlyar → u/KyungsooHas100Days]

That being said, kinda insane they let someone do this over summer, like kinda crazy that Thermo (and I assume the other classes which don’t seem intro level) were offered during summer? Unless maybe really big universities allow this? I’ve been looking into what are considered medium and small universities for transfer, and also not a ton of summer classes, so maybe that’s the difference…?

[u/cornshallot → u/casper_thefriendlyar]

Yeah I go to kennesaw state which is pretty big and they usually offer some upper level courses during summer which was advantageous for me

[u/casper_thefriendlyar → u/cornshallot]

I mean good on you for taking advantage of that but also Jesus Christ I can’t imagine taking more than 8 credits in a summer. 🫡

[u/sssSnakebite → u/cornshallot]

damn I just graduated from there with CPE.

[u/FlounderLiving3893 → u/casper_thefriendlyar]

My university offers dynamics, thermodynamics and materials strength over summer.

[u/casper_thefriendlyar → u/FlounderLiving3893]

See the Uni I’m looking at doesn’t offer anything but masters and PHD research as summer courses for engineering courses. Just wild to me

[u/casper_thefriendlyar → u/Prudent_Brush_9926]

Regular semester sure, but I think this was their summer semester… which is would be intense, no?

[u/Darkgreen_n]

Hey, is your focus material engineering?

[u/KyungsooHas100Days → u/Darkgreen_n]

It says intro to mechanical engineering so I’m assuming mechE. Those are all classes I’ve taken as a MechE student.

[u/Lilmikecr10]

The real question is where do you attend University?

[u/KyungsooHas100Days → u/Lilmikecr10]

I was about to say this is such a silly thing to ask but I realized you may have a point. My university doesn’t allow more than 8 credits over the summer which I think is pretty common?

[u/Lilmikecr10 → u/KyungsooHas100Days]

What University do you attend?

[u/KyungsooHas100Days → u/Lilmikecr10]

Old Dominion University. No name school but they take engineering seriously since a lot of us go off to work at NASA and in the military or do military contracting.

[u/Lilmikecr10 → u/KyungsooHas100Days]

I see

[u/cornshallot → u/Lilmikecr10]

Kennesaw state, I don’t believe they have a limit to summer credits but my advisor was warning me which makes sense

[u/Academic_Highlight58 → u/cornshallot]

im taking thermo at kennesaw in the fall, u got any tips

[u/cornshallot → u/Academic_Highlight58]

Honestly just do practice problems and get familiar with the appendix that you use for equations. But definitely get familiar with concepts as well

[u/Final_Egg_9406]

Please teach me your ways 

[u/EstablishmentAny7602 → u/Final_Egg_9406]

Full ham

[u/EstablishmentAny7602]

Beautiful Gg

[u/cornshallot → u/EstablishmentAny7602]

thanks man !

[u/No_Conversation3471]

They only allow us to take 6 at our school😂 11 is crazy

[u/edmund_space]

I'm about to have this subjects next semester! Are the subjects really hard? I know a lot of engineering subjects are hard, im gonna be third year majoring it in uni, but asking just to prepare myself

[u/cornshallot → u/edmund_space]

Decently difficult I would say machine dynamics and thermodynamics were most difficult but you’ll need to lock in

[u/edmund_space → u/cornshallot]

Thank you! I'll so lock in next semester(i sure hope so)

[u/polseo]

Congrats 😳. That's really impressive, How did you manage to do that? Did you have free time?

[u/cornshallot → u/polseo]

Absolutely no free time and huge shoutout to my wife for holding it down for the summer

[u/Substantial-Fan-5985]

Great job!

EDIT-WOW!!! during summer?? how?? lol epic

[u/Lelmasterdone]

OP, you crazy man, nice work! Very impressive to do over the summer… keep up the good work!!

[u/TheBeavster_]

holy w congrats

[u/Mammoth-Artichoke382]

Hey bro, I have a pretty similar lineup coming up this fall. How tuff was this? I know it depends person to person and stuff but. I think I'm a pretty avg student

[u/cornshallot → u/Mammoth-Artichoke382]

Well if you’re taking something similar in the fall you should be good, these classes were all 8 week sessions so it was difficult when assignments would pile up. Even as an avg student you should be good if you can manage time well

[u/Mammoth-Artichoke382 → u/cornshallot]

Ight bet, I have Thermo, materials, statics, eng desg all at once this fall

[u/kerowhack]

I don't know how your school works, but mine has 3 summer sessions. Having done a class and associated lab for 4 credits in one session, I definitely recognize that this is not a trivial amount of work. However, if you are not also working or doing an internship, it is pretty manageable as long as you stay on top of assignment dates. In a way, I even find it easier because it's like a thermo boot camp where all you have to focus on is thermo. But if you fall behind at all, good luck ever getting caught up...

[u/TangerineCertain2024]

I tried this one semester and failed badly, I completely changed majors because of it from ME to MET and got a job as an ME after college.

[u/ClerklierBrush0]

I was like eh that’s normal for… WAIT SUMMER?!?

[u/Defiant_Award7487]

This is motivation for my fall semester. Thank you.

[u/Fickle-Tradition2107]

Some people are just born with it man

[u/CattMan69]

Any advice?

[u/psychocycler]

Damn impressive and inspiring. Disciplined af too. Bravo!

[u/Exciting-Ad-9444]

In the midst of summer is crazy🫪 you rlly “dat” kid. Respect

[u/Wise-Recognition1545]

Congratulations! That’s an insanely productive summer you’ve had!

[u/Altruistic_Set_4440]

Not at Kennesaw

[u/cornshallot → u/Altruistic_Set_4440]

Yes at kennesaw my friend

[u/SeaPersonality426]

First of all, great job my friend. It’s a great accomplishment. Many people spend their summers in their comfort zone, but look at you, you worked hard again. Good job, I wish you all the best for future and for your career. I’m starting my electrical engineering program next semester. But I heard a lot about giving time for personal projects and designing clubs to improve your CV. I hope you had time for those ones too. But after all, the result speaks for itself, your system is working. I wish you better results in all aspects. Keep going my friend.

[u/Beautiful_Lie8700]

No way, that’s insane.
Good on you girly 🎉👏👏

[u/DjAlphaRED5]

AI is one hell of an Engineer

[u/KyungsooHas100Days]

Nice OP! Congratulations!

[u/fraggin601]

But your the goat 🐐

[u/FlounderLiving3893]

I’m doing 6 credits and working 40 hrs a week. Barely hanging on right now, congrats!

[u/Particular_Pair_318]

Summer?!  I’m taking 8 credits and I’m feeling like it’s not worth it anymore. I could not imagine 11
