I'll list here the essential freshman courses for each major:
Economics: Econ 1A and 1B
BME: Math 41 and 42, Chem 31X (counts for Chem 31A and 31B) and 33
ME: Math 41, 42, and 51, Physics 41 and 43, ENGR 41
All: 3 IHUM, PWR 1

Counting IHUM and PWR, you can see that Econ requires 6 classes, BME requires 8, and ME requires 11. So you can easily take the required classes for both Econ and BME, but ME would be much harder. I would suggest looking up the prerequisites for each class in the sample schedules and seeing which ones could be pushed back without delaying graduation. The quarter for PWR 1 is assigned to you, so you can't choose that.

I would suggest the following schedule:
Autumn: Math 41 (4), IHUM (4), Econ 1A (5), Chem 31X (4)
Winter: Math 42 (4), IHUM (4), Physics 41 (4), Econ 1B (5) or PWR 1 (4)

At this point, you should know which one you like more: math/chemistry/physics or economics. You should also try to decide between BME and ME.

Economics Spring: Math 51 (5), IHUM (4), Econ 1B (5) or PWR 1 (4)
BME Spring: Chem 33 (4), IHUM (4)
ME Spring: IHUM (4), pick 3 out of: Math 51 (4), Physics 43 (4), ENGR 14 (4), PWR 1 (4)
