Scott, a mech engineering degree is packed full of all sorts of interesting spin-off points. ...from materials to system control ...economics to pant operation. ...everything in between. (there is a LOT in between) So don't worry about getting too little enough academic well-roundedness. Get it done, and move on to the real world, where you'll have plenty of opportunity to get more depth on any giving piece of your education. (else, hide-out in an MS or phd program for slow exposure while eating Raman noodles) For sure, one of the great things about the degree is the diverse opportunities it provides.
