What is the best way of completing these courses with the highest grade possible with the least time needed?

I am thinking about taking the following civil engineering courses this fall:





1.) Fluid Mechanics


2.) Statically Determinate Structural Analysis


3.) Civil Engineering Materials (covers concrete, asphalt, and the such)


4.) Soil Mechanics


5.) Land Surveying





I need Fluid Mechanics and the Structural course at minimum in order to graduate by December 2008. Fluid Mechanics, Soil Mechanics, Land Surveying, and Civil Engineering Materials each have a lab associated with them, so I will need to attend one lab per week in each of those classes, which can be placed on the same day. I will also need to be able to learn which problems need to be completed and be able to turn them in physically, on engineering paper, to the instructor in class.





I am trying to form a plan because I have to work 40 hours a week (flex time options) and it would help if classes were during the evenings or done via distance education, but there is no way to do that without studying on your own and...

Hi:


My boyfriend is also in an engineering program and he has had trouble getting all the work done, because he has to work as well. First of all, tip from him: procrastination will kill you! wish there was an easy answer, but working 40 hours a week sounds like its going to be pretty rough...Vault and Red Bull will become your new best friends.





However, if you are willing to be hyper-organized and obsessive, you could try making a spreadsheet with 24 hours scheduled out, then schedule in all your work hours, and then sleep time (some of which you might have to sacrifice) and then schedule every available hour towards your courses (maybe an hour each course?).

Hope this helps, and good luck :-)
Reply:Some colleges offer summer classes. They will probably be starting soon though, if they haven't already.
