To me the Act Sci degree is better.

If you want to be an actuary and are serious about it, you're not demonstrating committment by pursuing an engineering degree.

An engineering degree won't give you many tools you need to be successful as an actuary, especially if you already have several exams passed.

My opinion only, others would differ I'm sure.
