Default Low undergrad GPA, need help!

Hopefully I post in correct forum board. I graduated from UC Riverside with ~2.0-2.1ish GPA in biological sciences.

Am wanting to change fields into computer science or EE in grad school. Now that I think of it, I'm more into computers and technology than into biology.

I am at the moment, going to be going to community college and taking some courses, and getting either a certification or a Associate Degree in Electronic Technology.

What should I do to help myself? Is it ok to get a letter of rec from a community college prof? For the ET at the community college, same prof teaches a lot of the required classes and if I do well and get to know him well, would it help to get a letter of rec from him?

I'm sort of wanting to know what to do

Thanks for understanding!

Default bs degree

what type of bs did you graduate with? how much computer knowledge do you have because many grad programs require you to have an exstensive understanding or knowledge of computers.
