You can do FSAE in college, that hurdle is to get enough people to start it and convince people to support you...Its a Collegiate level competition, its open to universities or colleges....The issue I think is that with most professional school/colleges runs a much more condensed curriculum that people are in it to get as much stuff as quickly as possible, its hard to get people to do extra(aside from making money). Unless they make it part of the course....
Also school like UOIT might be of interest to you. Its now a full university, but they have a much heavier emphasis on practical work and they have a strong tie to GM, which helps in terms of gearing their courseload to practical application. I believe they are currently the only university in Canada to offer an actual "Automotive Engineering" degree...
Roush BTW is a much bigger company than just the NASCAR team or company that build tuned Ford. They are a full tier one supplier and they do a lot of customer OEM programs. And they hire ALOT of young engineers. Though their turn over rate is pretty high. But a lot of students get their first job in the field with Roush, then go elsewhere. And don't feel you need to go to US school to get US job, I work in US fine with my degree from UofT....
I am actually one year before double cohort.....
