Would this be academic suicide for an engineering curriculum?
In my junior year, it’s set up as:
1st Semester:
EE 310 electronic circuit design (4)
Engr. Sci 314 engineering applications of materials (3)
EE 330 electromagnetics (4)
EE 350 continuous time linear systems (4)
Math 414 probability (3)
2nd Semester:
EE 316 embedded controllers (3)
EE 438 antenna engineering (3)
EE 360 communications systems I (3)
EE 387 energy conversion (3)
Math 415 statistics (3)
Marketing 301 (3)
I can spread out the easier courses between my junior/senior years. Is that a good idea, or is this curriculum bearable enough to get all of the toughies out of the way early?
Finally, if I graduate with an MSEE and 2 years of work experience, how long until I can sit for the PE exam?
The god part about doing this all in my junior year is that I have 2 consecutive co-op rotations after this. Plus, my senior year will be a lot easier, so I can ease up for grad school. However, I don't know if this is too much or not.

That is suicide and is probably not worth it. Are you a junior transfer? It looks like you have some sophomore classes in there. If so, then I guess you don’t have much of a choice.
But taking all that stuff is kinda useless for two reasons:
MSEE – you have to get in first and grades kinda count
PE – jobwise, being a generalist is not that helpful, especially after graduate school. Plus a PE is pretty useless unless the company you work for does Public projects and even then, that is rare in EE.
One more note – you need 1 year of experience for the PE after your MSEE AND after you passed the EIT.
Good luck!
yes, probably.
If you think you can handle all those credits, then more power to you. But you better know that you’re ready to handle everything.
this seems like an Average schedule.. definitiely nothing hard to accomplish
