The robots builder's book on the top of this page is the best I know of:

Otherwise just browse this site . . .

Since you are an electrical engineer, your weakness will be mechanical aspects of the robot. Take a machine shop course and an intro to mechE class!  :P

I'm no expert, but I think you should probably start with a really basic design, a differential drive, you could even do on a miniature (or full) scale, what I am currentlt thinking, that would be having a 'single' wheel as the robot. Think about a bit!
