What are some of the most common and useful CAD programs in the engineering industry? I graduated with my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in May, and I'm trying to teach myself some marketable skills [no job offers yet]. The college I went to is ABET accredited but I don't think it gave me enough computer background. I have at least heard of Solid Works, Inventor, Solid Edge, and Pro-E, but which should I learn first?

You just graduated from an abet accredited school in Mech Eng and they didn't teach you any CAD? Sorry, I'm just very surprised by this.

I'd go with SolidWorks, Pro-E, or AutoCAD. I've been using SolidWorks for 9 yrs and I think it's easily one of the best out there. I use COSMOSworks for FEA (please tell me they at least briefed you on FEA in school).

I was recently laid off from a company I worked at for 12 yrs. Anyone need a product design/development engineer?

Pro-E, Solidworks, and Autocad are the most you will need.

Ofcouse you will need to know how to use Pro-mechanica in Pro-e and COSMOSworks in Solidworks.
