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

Depends on the college. Not true that, “They assume you know absolutely nothing about engineering.” Some will have you apply directly to their school of engineering, some will have a supp asking you to explain your interest, what you’ve studied and your experiences, etc. Some will want to see stem AP scores.

Choose college targets wisely, be informed what they offer and expect. I’m not even sure OP is interested in engineering, per se. It could be some other form of tech.

As for a hs engineering course, not all hs offer this. Physics and math are what matter. And depending on the college, some collaborative stem activities, to show you’ve tested this interest.
