An engineer would need more intelligence. A genuine engineer, not one of them clever made up fluffy titles.
There are too many lawyers out there dragging the field into the mud with their "Have you been injured?" campaigns.

What kind of engineer?
A sandwhich engineer? Or a bridge engineer? Or a electrical engineer? Or a computer engineer? Or a lightbulb engineer?
Engineering would require different levels of competantcy and skill. being good with numbers and the ability to envison the end result is also helpful, but not all people possess those skills, despite how intellegant they are. It's a question that may have many answers.
Lawyers in general have to be logical, quick and good observersand presuasive. They also have to love to read and read and read and memorize and read and memorize a lot of cases and and reports to make arguments. So, I'd say... the'd have to love being a lawyer despite their intelligence level just to tolerate the reading and memorizing.
Also, have you seen My Cousin Vinny, with Joe Pesce? Or Erin Brockavich? Besides the fact that they are fictional, they prove a few points on both various types of laywers and engineers.

It takes different kinds of intelligence. If you are better with math be an engineer, if you are better at persuading people and applying laws to real life situations, be a lawyer.

It depends on the type of intelligence needed in the job your doing.
However, I'm leaning towards lawyer. When you can convince a group of people to give a woman a ton of money for spilling coffee on herself it's genius.

An engineer for intelligence AND reasoning.
All lawyers do is double talk and obfuscate.

Both careers need equal levels of intelligence, it's just a matter of which way you want to use your intelligence and where you want to apply it, know what I mean?
