Glenn’s Answer

As stated by others, it does depend on your discipline. But any activity that shows your passion for the your area of interest helps.

Glenn recommends the following next steps:

Join Engineering Society, like SME (Society of Mechanical Engineering)
Coop or internship to work in your discipline alternating semesters or over the summer
Take classes with projects in your discipline. This could be like building a solar powered vehicle
