I would consult an adviser within the engineering department on these questions. The prereqs for BME may not require you to take anything, or they may be very specific. Also, you might do well to conduct informational interviews with local biomedical companies, of which there are many in the Sacramento and SF Bay areas. Use the responses your receive from both (adviser and interviewees) to guide your internship selection.

I would also advise joining LinkedIN and joining online groups in LinkedIN to help identify individuals with similar career paths and feel free to contact the individuals you find to ask questions of.
