Only one student has double-majored in Engineering and Business Economics. I think you should experience the difficulty of a CS/CSE major's weeder classes before committing to a minor, no matter which school you go to. (One thing I loved about my orientation session was how so many naive people planned on double majoring in Computer Science and Japanese, then got soul-skewered by CS 32/33, and to this day never bring it up again.)

Stick with CSE... Someone at this quarter's CS Town Hall quipped that CSE was essentially CS + "circuit classes thrown in". Taking one major or the other will not prevent you from taking the courses in either major without going out of your way, curriculum-wise.
