I have no experience with Pro-E. What would most people recommend for me to 1. obtain a copy of the software (personal use only) so looking to find best deal. and 2. How to learn the software. (books, online tutorials, classes, etc.) Can I learn this software on my own by playing with the softare and reading some tutorials?? where do i get the software???

You can also get the personal use from PTC. Check under Resource Center>Product Promotions and selct the Pro/Engineer Student Edition link.

Once you get the installation, there are some tutorials offered throught the Wildfire Help Center (http://www.ptc.com/community/proewf4/start.htm) plus PTC has various courses and online tutorials (http://www.ptc.com/products/tutorials/). There used to be some tutorials on YouTube. SDC has a book or two (http://www.sdcpublications.com/catalog.htm#proe). I really liked the FroTime tutorials (http://www.frotime.com/tutorials.aspx). Carnegie Mellon has some nice tutorials set up (http://www.me.cmu.edu/academics/courses/NSF_Edu_Proj/Wildfire_short_course/tutorials.htm) There are others (such as): http://www.me.uvic.ca/~mech410/ProEWF2_Tut_2006/ProE_Wildfire_2_Tutorial-2006.pdf Hope that helps at least a bit.
