<p>Besides the obvious ones such as "something you enjoy, are interested in, etc". I'm a pre-med engineer, and I've been doing the "essential" ec's such as getting clinical experience, shadowing docs, in addition to miscellaneous hobbies/clubs. That's all great and all however, I want to get more exposed to the engineering side while juggling my premed stuff (I'll be doing an engineering internship this summer). What other sort of activities entail what an undergrad engineer would do, analogous to what i'm doing for premed?</p>
<p>How about Engineers Without Borders?</p>
<p>There are a bunch of engineering competitions.
AUVSI
BioBricks
Solar Decathalon</p>
<p>You could get a team together and compete in those.</p>
<p>bump! I would also like to know any other suggestions!</p>
<p>Toastmasters, everyone should.</p>
