IOE is heavily based on applied mathematics mainly Linear Algebra and Statistics. As an engineer, you are going to have to take calculus, physics and probably chemistry. You want to take as many AP classes as possible in physics, statistics, calculus and chemistry. Additional AP classes in other subjects can be taken but should be taken afterwards. For example, AP Psychology can count as credit for Psychology 101 in case you go to a liberal arts college.

Yes it is.
A computer class helps as well such as C++ or web design. IE' sare required to take 1 computer science class as well as Mechanical and Civil Engineers. They typically take C++ Programming in college.
