What classes to take?
P.S. here is the list of classes I can choose from.

Answer:
All colleges have different requirements for majors but you are right in your assumption that you will need calculus, at least 2 semesters worth, though I had to take 3 semesters. The same with physics.
Do you know which college you'll be attending? If so, you can look in their catalogue and see what their core requirements are. I went to a school that ranks itself with MIT. At my university, as a 1st semester freshman, I took calc, physics, American History, intro course in my major, and chemistry. I placed out of freshman English from taking AP exams in high school. Many engineering curricula require some basic computing courses as well that you may be able to take off site and place out of. Business calc I doubt will help you fulfill your prerequisites. Economics was a requirement for engineering students, but not for science students there.
Do you know which type of engineering you're interested in? Whereas a Materials Science Engineer may prefer a deeper grounding in chemistry than an electrical engineer, and bioengineer requires different grounding than a civil engineer, you may wish to see what the advanced courses are for each discipline and plan that way.
Of course, the placement office or counseling center at your CC may have pointers on what choices are more "universally" accepted.
Another tactic to take is if you know someone in an engineering program like what you are interested in, ask her what she might suggest. Perhaps you can get all of the humanities courses out of the way which tend to be more general for non-majors and are often part of core requirements regardless of major. Psychology was one course of this type that would fulfil these requirements where I went.
Of course, if you're talking about computer engineering, I'm totally clueless.
Whatever you end up taking, remember to get the most out of them and ace the basic skills that will be the foundation for your career.
If you're really serious about engineering, take all the science you can possibly take.
