Ask HN: Should I omit education on resume?

I’m graduating college in May with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. It doesn’t particularly interest me, I’d rather get an entry level CS job.

From past work, I’ve got a bit of coding experience. Maintenance on Rails apps, python scripts, C++ state machines, etc. Style wise; I put in detailed comments and use version control, etc.

How do I make my resume sound the most appealing to a company (preferably larger)? Most people see the mechanical engineering and immediately think I don’t know what a for loop does or how to use a command line. Should I put my education lower on resume? Not mention it at all? Say:”bachelor of science” and not mention major? I don’t want to lie or imply something that isn’t true, but I have no qualms leaving out details.
