Most first year engineering timetables are pretty far from ideal. Your's is pretty much what's to be expected.
But you may want to navigate around those 9 AM classes. (All of them if possible, but at least the lab I'd say.) It becomes a huge drain waking up and getting on time to your classes. Some people deal with one, but you have four.
Keep in mind that gen-eds don't have to be taken in first year. But first thing that comes to my mind is always ECON1101.

Is ECON1101 really easy or something?

Just like Rui said, first year timetables are the worst (mine was also as bad as yours and I took the same combination of subjects in T1). I will say, try to avoid putting long gaps in your timetable. In my T1 timetable, there was a 4 hour gap from my 9am lecture and my math tute and it was not fun. It's very exhausting. Personally, I'd recommend putting something in between the math lecture and your ENGG1000 lecture - maybe a math tute or something?
As for general education, it really depends on personal preference but I'd rather push general education towards the end of my degree. Because you need to do Industrial Training, I'd rather do my electives and gen ed courses when I'm doing IT so it's not too demanding from me and I get to do all the demanding courses out of the way as fast as possible. And when you choose your gen ed courses, think about what courses are you interested in and want a taste of it? Or you could find what gen ed courses don't have a final exam lol.
Hope this helps!

Might I just add this is a verry deadly combination of subjects. Not trying to scare you but I did this exact combo in T1 except ENG was replaced with COMP.
I was worked to exhaustion with the amount of work I had every week. It was the most stressful term I've ever had so make sure you're prepared for it because it's going to be REALLY hectic. Hopefully ENG doesn't give as much work as COMP!
Of course you might cope with it better than I did and all the best of luck to you =)
