Results may vary.
At my school, they start you with calculus your very first semester and start applications of it the second semester. I suppose those are all just "math" or "physics" courses rather then actual "engineering" courses but they are required to be taken first at my college. To the best of my knowledge, there are two general approaches to the engineering degree. Some like to throw a bunch of theoretical math at you so that your engineering courses can go into more depth. Others like to save alot of the theoretical math until half way through so you already have real world examples they can use within the math course themselves.
