I would agree with going for the math based economics degree (often referred to as analytical economics) but also go explore and see if there is something ales that you might want to get a degree in. I am planning on getting degrees in Physics and analytical economics with a minor in math. I'm not sure what sort of jobs will be open when I get out but I will be well versed for both a science or economics job. Honestly, I am planning on going to grad school just because in this day and age an undergrad means shit. I would say to just not get caught solely in the economics/business rut that so many people do get caught in. Most business students have really hard times finding a job and a regular economics degree will probably do nothing. To everyone posting shit up about how tough engineering is, I would agree that it is time consuming but it isn't tough in the sense that the math is overly tough. It is more so the cad/design sort of stuff that takes a fuck ton of time but isn't overly challenging in the math department that makes engineering hard. So, as someone else said, "get off your horse" and stop bitching because really you are a dime a dozen and apparently can't finish school in four years.
Economics Majors!

Yeah, I will likely take summer classes this summer while working but I figured out that I can do it in 4 years without having to take summer classes. I'm probably not getting the most useful majors but I will be able to go to grad school for just about anything. I am also fulfilling pre-dental requirements. I had a lot of AP classes in high school so a lot of my gen eds were done. I came in with 32 credits thanks to AP's and am looking at graduating with around 160. That is the plan as of now but we will see how long that lasts.
