What can I do to make my transfer application stand out?

it’s near the end of my 2nd semester in my local CC and i recognize that although i’m doing well with my academics (currently a 4.0 GPA), i’m very low on extracurriculars. i have decided to stay a total of 3 years here since i need to take a lot of classes to transfer for a chemical engineering major.

now that i have 4 semesters left, what activities can i apply for that can build my application/resume? How and where exactly can i look for internships? would you recommend doing volunteer work as well— or should i just stick to looking for internships that are related to my major?

i currently work in my CC’s chemistry lab/stockroom and i’ve joined Phi Theta Kappa (though im not an active member and i’ve heard from other people that being a member of PTK doesnt really add much to your resume) …and that’s pretty much it. any more suggestions?

thank you very much
