Don't let others talk you out of pursuing EE if that's what you're curious and passionate about. I took a path similar to what you mentioned - pursuing mech-e and EE during undergrad with a focus on robotics. If you're curious and interested in something, then you can absolutely make it work. EE does tend to be math heavy, but you can explore a lot of that with hobby projects to see if you're interested. Try implementing an audio project by designing and audio amp and then using digital signal processing. You can get everything from Sparkfun or Adafruit and use online tutorials, then run your own numbers to customize the design.
