It seems like mechanicals pick up on basic electrical knowledge as they go. Mechanical is a pretty broad field as it is and you cover many types of engineering. Electrical isn't as broad. You may want to look want ads for the type of career you would be doing when you graduate. Sometimes an electrical position will list either a degree in EE or ME. Also, if you decide on a degree and then want to switch, it might be easier to switch from ME to EE as intro to mechanical classes typically cover designing and physics. Your best option would be to talk to someone at the school you are considering. They can probably help match you with students of each major and go over the differences between both majors.
