<p>As many other posters said, you should try to take Calculus of some kind even if it is not AP. As an undergraduate Advisor at an engineering school, I see a lot of students who come in with AP Calculus and take the college courses anyway just so they have a really solid background. If you take a Calculus course next year, you will have at least been exposed to the material and be better prepared for your first year of college.</p>
<p>I also agree that you do not need to have AP Calculus to get into an engineering program. At my university, Illinois Tech, we have all students take a placement test and if they are not ready for the first semester of Calculus, we ask them to take a two semester sequence which slows the material down. This results in an extra course but gives students a better chance at getting te foundation they need to succeed in enginering (and science). I am sure that there are many other universities which do the same thing.</p>
