Exactly what the previous poster said. It's a trade-off. If you're truly interested in engineering, you should be more than willing to drop a few potential wharton classes for SEAS classes. Anyways, at the risk of upsetting WhartonAdvisor...

Here's a big hint for you. A lot of what you learn in college you learn the night before a test, regurgitate it, and forget it. Even if you learn it throughout the semester continuously, odds are 2-3 years later when you graduate you will forget the majority of it. Employers know this and train you starting from scratch. While the great faculty are good for grad students who work directly WITH them, a student being TAUGHT by them gets less benefit (NPV is NPV regardless of who teaches it). The point of college is to teach you how to think. So take a few case-based classes and you'll be fine.
