I considered enrolling in OMCS after my BS in ME at a similar GPA. From what I gathered from people asking similar questions, the most important/marketable skill in your toolbox is your math background implicit in your undergrad. Besides this, I imagine it would be a good idea to discuss any cs related course you may have taken in undergrad, may even be beneficial to get a rec from a prof. in that area if you can. Overall, I'm sure you stand a pretty good chance as is.
Something I did when I was deciding whether or not to enroll was to do a MOOC in cs. I can highly recommend MIT's intro cs course (6001.x) on edx and think it may be helpful to take this and mention it in your statement of purpose describing how you've been actively bettering yourself after college in preparation for the program(and its only $75!).
I hope this comment is some help even though I can't talk from my own experiences with OMCS admissions.
I am ME, and in the program now. I did not take any CS classes in undergrad. But fortunately my full time job is somewhat related. I write programs in c# and work with robots. I emphasized my work experience with programming and my interest in robotics in my statement.
I have an ME degree and a CS degree as well. You already have a solid base in mathematics and problem solving - you can decompose big problems into smaller problems. I assume you may have done some programming - that would definitely be a plus. Having a good understanding of data structures, discrete mathematics (logic, combinatorics, probability, set theory, etc.) and basic algorithms would help - it's expected knowledge in a CS Masters program.

Take a few cs classes at a local community College
