Are you thinking about working as well?

2 courses in a term is a relatively full course load.
Otherwise, getting a little bit ahead of the game is always a good idea in engineering.

I'm not sure if you can fast-track Math 2Z03. A lot of upper year courses that are offered over the summer are specifically for people that failed them the first time around, but Math may not be one of them. You should check up on that.

Physics 1D03 is supposedly a lot easier over the summer... one of my friends failed it during the school year and got an 11 over the summer.

But in general, taking courses over the summer is a good idea, because it lightens your work load for the school year and you tend to do better and actually enjoy the material, not just survive it, when you're not going crazy over 5-6 other courses.
