Taking classes in relation to major interest

Hi guys, this may be a very odd question (or a very simple one) to answer, but:

How do colleges view taking classes in relation to determined interest in a major? I am interested in Electrical Engineering and want to take Multivariable Calculus this summer in addition to Physics E&M and an introduction to circuits class at a local community college out of self-interest (I wanted to take these classes last summer, but my math skills would not have been enough to do well in these classes). Would taking these classes show a demonstrated interest in the major?

This will not be the only electrical engineering oriented thing I do (hopefully) as I do plan to work as a research assistant in a university lab this summer on an EE related project, but would the classes by themselves mean anything?

Thanks.
