I don't know what are you saying.

Math, Math, Math Theory, Science ,computers, and I would also suggest some good english classes, communication classes and business fundamentals.  While the main job of the mechanical engineer is to design and build systems that do useful work, you have to understand and be able to explain to those that are non technical and are paying the tab.  those other classes will help with that.

AutoCAD Anybody?\n\nThis strategy by Apple addresses the "classic case" of inability to adopt Mac. The classic case is this: I can run every piece of software I need natively on Mac OS X, except for the one I need the most.\n\nFor many in the CAD world, this happens to be AutoCAD. Yet, for others it happens to be programs like SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/E and others. Maybe a user wants to use Autodesk's 3D Studio Max. All of this is possible now at native -- and very attractive -- speeds.\n\nThis isn't the same thing as native solutions for OS X. And that is what Mac users ultimately want. But for now, this is Apple's latest big move in its efforts to win the hearts and wallets of folks frustrated with the Windows computing experience.

I guess I'm not 100% sure what you are looking for. If you ae wondering about training seminars you can look at CADtech Seminars.

Most good autocad programs will save as a JPG.  I don't know that Photoshop will ever open a CAD file.  \n\nThe one way I really like to do this was to open the CAD file then print to PDF with high resolution. Then open and edit the PDF in photoshop.\n\nIf you don't have a CAD program, download a free viewer, then print to PDF.\n\nGood Luck

My opinion is that mechanical engineers have more opportunity.  Industrail engineers work mainly in factories, distribution centers and the like designing production lines, doing time studies , logistics planning, forcasting production, etc. Mechanical engineering is much more varied. Just about any company doing design work probably needs an ME but mostly only manufacturing and distribution companies need an industrial/production engineer. Given the range of topics that an ME needs to study in school, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, statics, strength of materials....he or she could be working on nanomachines, steel structures, aerospace, medical devices, engines, pneumatics,  thermal design...the list goes on and on.  MEs make more money striaght out of school.  Manufacturing is also on the decline in the US.

Are you designing a diploma for mechanical engineering graduates or are you trying to design an object for a mechanical engineering class?

3D Studio Max all the way for any high end graphics.  Autocad's primary function is for architecture, but for any 3D designs that will be used for graphical use 3D Studio Max is the way to go.

I don't know what your talking about as far as 11th class, but no matter what engineering you go into.  Be sure to get some AutoCad experience.  Many employers ask that you know AutoCad.

Autocad is a huge program with very specific command line codes. I would think it would be very difficult to learn this anywhere else than a classroom.\n\nI have a friend who uses a program called "turboCAD"; the results are impresive, and he can produce 3-D models in a fractin of the time it takes me on AutoCAD.\n\nSo thats what I would recommend.\n\nIf you are still bent on AutoCAD and don't want to take a class, I would suggest buying a book or spending some time in your local library. Finding a website that would meet your needs would be quite difficult and may not exist.

The fastest way to learn AutoCAD is to practice it. but this usually requires that you go and train in a firm that uses it. however because this is not always possible, you can get a book that explains Autocad.\n\nthe only problem is that most books that i used before only explains the basics not the expert things but it will give you the basic idea. Now you may ask which book to buy? Well this is a question hard to answer, if you have access to a library then you may wanna go and check what they have.\n\nI gained my AutoCAD experience by reading a book then in a consulting firm where i had my summer training.\n\nIf you have a question in AutoCAD itself feel free to ask me.\n\nWish i could help you more

A mechanical engineer uses scientific knowledge & ingenuity to solve mechanical problems. So you need to have a strong background in the branches of physics that deal with mechanics: statics & dynamics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, etc. Of course, to learn all this you need to be strong in mathematics.\nFrom there, the knowledge extends to more specialized fields like engines, control systems, materials science, etc. You'll learn all these in college when you study for your mechanical engineering degree, so don't worry.\n\nHowever, there is no set requirements for software. Nowadays, mechanical engineers are expected to be able to use computer-aided design (CAD) programs. Popular examples of CAD programs are AutoCAD, Solidworks, Unigraphics, Catia & Pro/Engineer. The good thing about CAD software is that all of them are basically the same. There are only minor differences. So if you can use one, you can learn to use the others easily.\n\nMore specialized engineers need to use more specialized software. There are stress analysis programs like Nastran or I-DEAS to calculate the strength of structures. Programs like FLUENT calculate fluid flow problems.\n\nIt is becoming increasingly important for mechanical engineers to know programming languages. So I recommend that you learn languages like C++ or Basic.\n\nDon't forget the basic office software like MS Office or Lotus Smartsuite. You'll need to use them to store & analyze data, write reports & prepare presentations.

Autodesk is the company which makes 3D Studio Max and also other softwares like Autocad etc... Recently Autodesk has taken ove Alias, the manufacturer of Maya. You can find a 30-day trial download version of 3D Studio Max at www.discreet.com
