Everyone has to take MATH 150--MATH 152's prerequisite isn't Calculus 12. So after 150, you're at the same level as everyone else.
A tip: make sure when studying, you understand every part of what's being taught. You won't be able to just memorize this stuff. If you don't get something, spend a bit of time trying to figure it out, move forward if the following information doesn't rely on what you're passing, but come back to it later and try again and again till you understand what that thing is, how it works, and why. YouTube the name of what you're having trouble with, cause there are going to be several tutorials from people on there per topic.
You'll have to put in the hours, though, and study smart. Remember: being a student is your job, and 3 courses is full time (equivalent to 9-5 Mon-Fri). SFU uses the "flipped classroom" where you're supposed to read the sections of the textbook before class, the lecture reinforces and clarifies the most important stuff, then you self-study till you understand it 100%.
The rule of thumb for all classes is 2-3 hours of study for every hour in lecture. That means for MATH 150 you should expect to spend 8-12 hours studying on your own outside of class.
Engineering requires 12 credits/semester, so you'd have at least 13 in the semester you take 150--That means 26-39 hours of studying on your own outside class i.e. 6 hours a day 7 days a week, 6.5 hours every day but Sat/Sun, or 8 hours a day Mon-Fri.
Here are a couple useful resources:
Also, FYI for YouTube, if you hit shift+> on YouTube, it speeds up the video 1.25x 1.5x 2.0x -- which has really saved my ass, cause I don't have patience for slow talkers. (Conversely, shift+< slows the video back down)
Nathan is teaching Math 440 and is using a completely different textbook than what the previous professor typically used, which is MUCH better in my opinion. I spoke with him by email and it seems he's either using a well respected graduate algebra textbook or the abstract algebra textbook used for Math 340 -- which would be a shame because it leaves out a particular Field extension which is required to define a Galois extension and you end up seeing very specific examples of irreducible polynomials.
The previous professor (Imin) used A Course in Galois Theory link by D.J.H Garling. This book is my favourite math textbook ever written (so far anyway) and the author has been compared to G.H Hardy in terms of clarity and eloquence. It's a real shame it won't be used unless Nathan changes his mind.
I'm also registered for 496 but may switch it for 495 since my future plans have changed considerably and would be more useful for me.
MACM 401 ... it's hit or miss. The professor is quite tough, although a great lecturer and teacher. I don't think he scales and his finals in 4th year math courses are 24 hour take home finals. This class and his other made me realize that 24 hour finals are absolutely not for me. You will be doing quite a bit of work and you will need to learn maple quickly and on the fly.
In MATH 232 it meant a simple 4 function calculator like this. In MATH 152 it included any scientific calculator that doesn't do integrals. So yeah best to check with your prof or TA. You could bring a couple and let the TA decide which one you can use.

I bought this one. It fits on a desk and is pretty cheap. Markers aren't exactly the cheapest, but if you buy on amazon you should be pretty set to go.
I'm in Macm 101 this semester. There's a few people in my class taking it for the second time. You need to get at least 50% on the final to pass the class. The textbook can be found online for free if you want to get a head start. https://www.amazon.ca/Discrete-Combinatorial-Mathematics-Ralph-Grimaldi/dp/0201726343
