I will reiterate that he should be talking to a counselor. Much of the confusion can be eliminated by just spending a few minutes is the counselor’s office. There should be a pretty good map for courses for the EE degree. In the first 2-3 years, there won't be much variation in courses, as the basics are accomplished. But the counselor will be able to provide guidance as to which courses really count and which will not. For example, there will often be many first semester courses in Physics, but only one will count towards the EE. Once you have something on paper with your counselor, you will be protected from future curriculum changes that affect your coursework WRT courses taken. You'll want to make sure you get something on paper with her.
Also, if you start at a junior college with the idea of transferring to a university, check to see if there is an existing agreement between the schools for course transfer. For example, I started at Pima Community College, but there was an agreement with the U of Arizona that courses I took at Pima would be guaranteed to transfer, provided I stuck to the curriculum.
