<p>I can’t imagine what would be done in 4-years of high school “engineering” classes. Shop skills and high school engineering classes probably provide zero benefit in college admissions. Taking AP Calculus and AP physics, on the other hand, would provide an admissions advantage.</p>
<p>Still, she should take the classes that she is most interested in. You don’t say whether or not she actually likes the engineering classes. Based on what you have said, she should continue with music. And do well on her SAT and/or ACT. </p>
