Since you mentioned Michigan have a look at Michigan State honors program. It’s really good in mechanical and can’t get better then Detroit for automotive. Downtown is becoming a tech center with Wayne State, Michigan and Michigan State creating a tech hub in Midtown area. Also many kids go right into Ford etc but are well placed just about anywhere. Honors gets you instate tuition for OOS with mentorship, research and $5,000 for study abroad. It’s a nice laid back campus (really nice) and good dorm food… For automotive design many are starting to draw and design with Augmented Reality. Drawing in 3d is the new wave.
