Have you tried contacting any companies in this field? while it will be hit or miss, if you can get an email to one of the designers/engineers in a company, they'll often help you with decisions. Generally speaking, people love the idea of youth following in their footsteps, and can be extremely receptive to college students or soon to be college students. I would first look for companies in your general area, since then you can also meet the person, but if there arnt any in your area, dont be afraid to email people wherever they may be.
You may get shot down, or you may get lucky and find someone who will help you a bit. Or, you may develop a lasting friendship and mentor, who will not only teach you, but can help you with job placement when you graduate.
In the end though, the worst that can happen is you dont get a reply.
