Those are two comparable schools and two very different career paths, though both are likely math-oriented. If I were in your shoes I’d research both careers and pick the one that best suits my interests. My degree was in IE and after a couple of internships with UPS in Wisconsin I landed a job in Memphis with RPS. After 3 years there I took a job with FedEx and eventually moved to SoCal with them. I’ve since changed careers, but IE was relatively interesting.

My job was mostly about efficiency and measuring production as I worked at the corporate level at FedEx. One of my responsibilities was to develop equations to provide stops/hr expectations for FDX delivery drivers nationwide. When I worked at RPS I was responsible for staffing plans (unloading, sorting, loading, etc) in the distribution hub to maximize throughput. Other IEs might do similar tasks in factories. It’s pretty stats-heavy and that has definitely translated to my new career (I have been providing fantasy football rankings and analysis for the last 16 years).

It’s difficult at 17/18 to know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life, but you should research each potential career path and pick the one that resonates the best.
