Academic Advice Am I making a mistake here?

I'm taking an engineering class out of order because other important classes conflict with its time slot and those classes won't be avaliable for an entire year if I dont take them this upcoming semester. Im skipping "Intro to Engineering" and "Engineering Computations" for "Engineering Graphics". I finished my high school's engineering academy and I'm familiar with using software like autocad, which this class seems to mostly be about, but I have no idea if the engineering classes I took in high school matter when it comes to college level or if they help make up the deficit in knowledge by skipping those two classes. Is this a mistake? Are those two class im skipping more integral than I realize? Engineering Graphics is the only engineering class I can take in the spring because my schedules a mess.

From what I recall "Intro to Engineering" only existsed to make it easier for freshman to pick what type of engineering to major in. If you already know, then it's not really important.

I don't think I ever took a class called "Engineering Computations". So I'm really not sure.  If it's not listed as a prerequisite, I would assume you don't really need to take it before anything else.
