I'll vouch for Mechatronics as a logical follow-up to what we do in FIRST. I'm a first-year Mechatronics student at the University of Waterloo, and although we haven't really gone too deep into the material yet, the program is designed as a hybrid of ME, EE, CE and Systems Design courses. The only problem is that there aren't yet many jobs in the industry targeted specifically towards Mechatronics Engineers (probably due to the current lack of graduates); my first co-op job was basically a manufacturing engineering job and my second looks like it's going to be programming. But I'm sure that will change over time.
