can anybody explain about pro-E use in the work. like what types of works can be done with pro-E in automotive, aerospace industry, or any other industry, and how much growth in career we can expect with pro-E skills.

thanks,

Shankar literally you can do almost anything mechanical or electrical in Pro/ENGINEER. The software is used in every major manufacturing and engineering industry. The suite of tools offered with Creo grows everyday. No one will be able to list all the possiblities.

To quote from the fine cinematic masterpiece "Blades of Glory"... "if you can dream it... you can do it!"

Your career potential in Pro/ENGINEER is nearly limitless. Creo isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Despite the various rumors that are occasionally floated by PTC's competitors, the company is strong and the product line is stable. You can make a very nice living using these software tools. PTC's products are very powerful but they can be a little hard to learn. Experienced, trained users who understand the idiosyncrasies of the tools and how to use them to maximum benefit are ALWAYS needed.

Good luck..

Thanks Brian for the answer.

but, just i want to know little more clearly, so can you or anybody explain with some examples of using pro-E

in aerospace or automotive sectors using pro-E technology/tools. if you give 2-3 examples, it will help me.

i have just learned pro-E, but not worked anywhere, so, i am curious and excited to work in different types of applications using the skills i learnt.

thanks,

shankar

Hi Shankar,

A question for you: are you 1) a mechanical engineer who knows how to use Pro/E; or 2) a Pro/E operator who knows some engineering?

I'm 1): I'm an engineer who designs hardware that provides solutions for a customer's requirements, and Pro/E is one of the tools that I use to help me do this. I also use Excel, AutoCAD, several bits of in-house software, a pencil and paper, and a Casio calculator.

Other people do make a living as 2), but it's a different career path - and they're usually contractors rather than permanent employees. The days of 'engineers' and 'draughtsmen' being separate roles are mostly gone.

Personally, I would look for a job in a sector that interests you (that could be medical equipment, power generation, aerospace, transportation, manufacturing machinery... you name it) and don't get too hung up on what CAD software a company uses. If you've learnt Pro/E, you could also learn Catia, or SW, or whatever; and if you're going for a permanent position, any decent company should train you.
