Computer Science: Avionics.

Why? Almost everything in the industry is moving to computer control. Internet hotspots on the aircraft, radar, radios, computer controlled flight surfaces..

Also, depending on where you go, you could end up flying for free on the company dime or even earning a pilot's license on that same dime. IMO it's worth it. I went for Jet engines and aircraft in general, but found that I'm also doing just as much electronic and computer work as I am riveting and fixing engines.

Not to mention programmers are being picked up in droves by avionics companies to help design new programs for systems.
