Is it vital to learn these programs on your own time prior to graduating?
I have some tell me it's beneficial for obvious reasons then others say to just focus on the curriculum and the rest will be taught from the employer and whatever software they utilize. Thoughts? |

revit is under the autodesk brand, but yes, i see more architects use it vs engineers. the engineers we work with tend to use AutoCAD 3d, BIM, Sketchup Pro

also, BIM is being heavily promoted in my school and I'd argue this is a good one based on rankings (top 3) so it's important to learn since the people that are graduating soon/have graduated in the last few years have been exposed to these It also depends on what you are doing I'd say, I know from our project to renovate our civil eng building for that class we're using Revit to model the exterior, SketchUp to have a pre-model since its easier to use and AutoCad to take care of the room splits and whatnot PLUS something else the structural engineer is using to make sure the building can stand |

Proof: BMW switched their last bastion of mechanical, analog element (hydraulic steering racks) to electric. This after having switched all 3 control pedals (gas, brake and transmission) to electric/electronic. There. |

You top out quick riding the technical side of things but moving over to management or project management can help climb the ladder more and more.

Engineering Manager is really where any motivated ME (or any other flavor of engineer) should be aiming (likely with a first stop at either a formal or informal "Supervisor" position) as that then provides the path for Engineering Director, VP of Engineering, CTO... |

i agree though, the management side is the place to get to if your goal isnt to be working for someone for the rest of your life. My uncle went the management route with his EE and now is a consultant who helps manages big projects for big companies. If you can develop the management and people skills, you are going to do big things.

"On the next Now_Rudi...Kiki says Charles is the father of her 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th children and wants child support. But Charles says he cant possibly be the father as he was in prison for cooking meth in a porta-potty 9 months before Kiki gave birth to the quintuplets. He blames Joe the midget satanist mailman, but Joe swears he's a eunuch due to a state fair chainsaw carving accident and besides, he's gay. Paternity tests will be administered, fights will break out, and Rudi will get to the bottom of this. On the next Now_Rudi!"

Sorry OP....
But I love how 95% of the threads around here start as one thing and end with dating/marriage/life advice from Now_Rudi . |
