Freshman Year Summer

I'm a first-year Economics student at a top university, aiming to get into Investment Banking next summer. This summer, I have two internship options to choose from: one in Accounting at a mid-sized company, and another working on cutting-edge transportation projects at a massive tech giant. Which one do you think would be better for giving my resume a boost for next summer's plans?
