I'm using Solid Edge where I work, full blown 3d modeling. It is the wave of the future. I remember graduating from college being told you might be doing designs on computer. First Engineering job I did most of the designs by hand on paper. Half way through that job, there was a sudden push to be on computer and it has been that way since. Learn as much cad software as you can. There are plenty of packages out there. If you learn some of the better ones, the pay is better.

Well, I used Matlab, SolidEdge, SolidWorks, and NX so far. I wouldn't say I'm great in any of them yet. At tech you rarely get to touch CAD software except if you are doing outside work. There are only 2 classes that you have to use the software in (1 being a elective), so it's kinda hard to get experience.
