what? I was in engineering (at NC State which is one of its only credentials), it didn't require you take calculus 1-3, I even started at calc 1 in college.
edit: I'm just not following this at all!
usually when you transfer from a CC they expect you to hop right into a majors program. Right now he's taking pre-college level math(college level courses start at precalc) and in order to enter an engineering program. If he's in intermediate algebra now, he's going to be in precalc 1 in winter quarter which throws off his whole sequence.
I would suggest taking summer classes to make up for the lost quarter spent taking remedial math and maybe fit differential equations in the summer before you transfer. Or you could do what I did and just spend an extra year at community college taking classes you know you'll need anyway at a lower price. There's really no hurry.
