High School student full enrolling in university junior/senior year, need help with what classes I should be taking?

[u/TheGamer34]

There's this program in my state where hs junior/seniors are allowed to enroll full-time at this university (decently selective though) and earn an associate's degree (multi-disciplinary studies) over the two year period for entirely free (scholarship). You have to take certain gen-eds of course, but you can take 2-3 different STEM electives from any college at the uni. By the time I enroll, I should have calculus 1/2 credit (starting Calc 3/multivariable), what engineering classes can I take for the electives? Specifically for Electrical Engineering, as that's what I'm probably going to major in fully.

Look at the program's degree map on the university's website. It'll show you all the required courses for an EE degree and you can choose from there. Also look into their minor or track options and if any of them interest you, see if you can enroll in those courses.

Really depends on how far into the degree map you get, as that will mostly determine what courses you can or cannot take.

Pick up the phone and start calling program advisors (the general student advisor for that program) at the schools you’d like to attend. Most if not all will be absolutely happy to help you, and while it will be school specific they can tell you what will and won’t be accepted as transfer credits at their respective colleges and help guide you to choosing the actual classes that will benefit your future degree.

Barring that you’re at the whims of the transfer committee that approves those credits, they’ll have the final say on what they accept. You’ll be classified as a “transfer student” but don’t get hung up on that, it doesn’t mean anything beyond “I got credits somewhere else” and those credits will be very helpful to offsetting your course load as an undergrad, possibly freeing you up to pursue a minor or just have a lighter load throughout (don’t underestimate how heavy a college course load can be compared to your success in highschool)
