I'm not sure if the CS will be a major, but it's at least a Mechanical with Comp Sci minor for me. It's actually a good combo, because some ME classes use LabVIEW, the ME math requirements (up through stats, diff eq, and linear algebra) are good for CS, and I have an internship writing mechanical engineering software. Non-overlapping majors are not necessarily suicide.
