The school I attended had Bioengineering which was more ag-bio engineering. It is something I'm looking at learning more about specifically the gene/biology coding aspects.

My $.02 is that you are in a good position to learn computer programming as it applies to sensors (ag/biology) and to learn how to process/mine/filter large data sets.

I'd talk with a professor or two in your major and see how many computer science classes you can substitute along with seeing what you can learn on your own.

I've learned a decent amount about sensors and just started to get into neural networks, specifically the Probabilistic Neural Network for binary classification problems. Can you point me in the right direction for internships with what you are doing?
