Math and science, especially physics and chemistry, are critical to preparation for engineering school. You are on the right track.  All engineers use computers, so you need to develop that skill along the way, but that can be learned in one or two classes somewhere along the way. You could even learn basic computer coding by teaching yourself, but can you do that with physics ?... not very easily.
