I’ve never taken a HS engineering course- Can I still do it?

I concur with the sentiment expressed by many of the other posters; I have never even heard of a high school offering bona-fide engineering courses before. {Granted, I can surely Google to find some, but I have to believe that they are few and far between.} I think the OP should be fine with the advanced math and science course that he/she has excelled in.

{Off-topic aside: Ironically most engineering careers outside of R&D barely require any advanced math/science knowledge whatsoever. For example, after a few years of working, most practicing engineers no longer remember how to compute derivatives and integrals, or how to determine quantum energy states. Hence, we have the irony that many high school students are actually more proficient in science/math than most practicing engineers.}
