Hi,
I am B.Sc. of mechanical engineering, and graduated on
cranes and conveyors. After my study I specialized in HVAC design.
I've
been using computer for four years now. Started with Quick basic, and now use
CAD
and GIS software:
size=2>Unigraphics
Pro/Engineer
Inventor
SolidWorks
Mechanical
Desktop
Steel Detailing System
STAAD Design Studio
MathCAD (I
consider it CAD, although it's not for
modeling)
AutoCAD
RhinoCeros
Nemetschek AllPlan
Architectural
Desktop
3D Studio VIZ
ArchiCAD
Arc/Info
ArcView (with Spatial
Analyst and 3D Analyst)
MapInfo
AutoCAD Map
CAD Overlay
Trimble
Survey Office
I won't mention other non-CAD software I use. I'm lecturing
engineers and architects to
use CAD and GIS software (mostly easy AutoCAD
and ArcView)
Now I work in a company for urban planing and architects
call me drafter.
Architects over here even dont know how to turn on a
computer (literaly) and don't want to know.
There are a few technicians who
make their plans. They use only ArcView (2D) and I made for them all the
customizations to improve their job. Also I take care about network problems.
When someone come to our company and asks an architect to print a plan, he's
not able to do it, even not to present his ideas if technician who drew it is
not here. Someone asked an architect: "Who actualy did it?"
Let's get back
to making projects. When I make a project, I make it better, faster and
cheaper when I do it myself, because I put my idea right on 3D model, and at
the same time make all the variations and analisys. I think it's too much to
expect from a technician to do this. If he can understand and use all the
software I do, then I will let him design too.

It seems to me, & I have no degree just a
lots of hard work & studying, that some of the engineers I've worked for
think that the only tools they need a calculator & a red pencil. It is
surprising using some of today's software just how much designing a "drafter"
can do
