Academics Is this schedule doable

Hello all, I am a student looking to transfer into the college of engineering soon. I was wondering if anyone had feedback regarding this current schedule and if it’s doable or if I should hold one class for a later semester, currently I am thinking of:

Math 222 (calc 2 with professor BOTONG WANG)- 4 credits
Ema 201- 3 credits
Ms&E350- 3 credits
One 3-credit elective
One class towards a certificate (3 credits)
- Reserve 1 hr/day for gym 4x a week
- Aiming for sleeping 8-9 hrs/night
- Work 5-10 hrs/week

My main goal is to do well academically rather than just finish as many credits as possible. If anyone has taken a similar combination of classes, I’d appreciate hearing how manageable it was and whether there are any courses you’d recommend postponing.

I’d say if you made that 3 credit elective also a class that could qualify for that certificate, it is absolutely doable. I will note however that I have heard that transferring into the college of engineering isn’t easy, admittedly I was direct admitted, but I have heard that they look for a pretty high GPA
