In canada, almost nobody learned calc in high school, it was an advanced placement course. We started learning calculus in first year engineering but didn't really start using it in other courses until third year.

Partially this was because the 4 year degree program piggy backed on a 2 year technologist program. So we learned the basics and applied practicalness of everything without calculus in the first two years, then went back and learned all the deep theory in last two years.
