OK, engineering is not my specific area, but I'll offer my thoughts:

laboratory research, simulation, and product and prototype design

– give some specifics.

Experience as part of project development teams

– what was your role, or give more info.

Investigated methods of improving efficiency in multi-user wireless networks simulation design
What are the results

– if you investigated, did you summarize, propose follow-up or have a final “outcome”.

Contributed structural and aesthetic input on design of client projects

– I think you could fluff this out to more closely align with your future goal.

Oh, er, should that be "investigating" with the wireless networks? I'm still working on that stuff for the master's (haven't graduated yet).

Why did you include that part about being a native-born citizen?

I don't think it helps the resume; a reference to national origins, citizenship and those sorts of things runs the risk of making HR types uncomfortable because it touches on issues that people file lawsuits about.

I would remove "References available upon request" because it's a bit redundant. If you're looking for work, you almost certainly do have some references lined up.

The native-born part is there because I'm Asian-American and government engineering jobs (and contractors who work on government projects) frequently require you to qualify for some level of security clearance, and I didn't want to lose those opportunities simply because my name or face looks foreign - I've had recruiters tell me "sorry, we need a U.S. citizen for this" right as I walk up, and then it's embarrassed looks all around when I point out that I am.

You probably do have a point when it comes to non-government jobs though.

Yeah, remove any personal information apart from your name and contact details - they make people nervous in case they accidentally discriminate against you.

Google "action verbs"+resume and make sure every statement you make starts with and/or includes at least one (yours are pretty good, but watch the repetition).

You have seven seconds to make the right impression - have a look at your resume and see what you get out of it in that time. Better still, ask someone who has never seen it to do so. At the moment, I would throw it out because it's simply too hard to read. If you're trying to keep within a certain number of pages, leave the font larger and work on tightening up your wording. Arial narrow is a good font for getting lots in a small space and maintaining readability.

Good luck! I'm in the middle of yet another application for promotion where I work, so I feel for you.
