Also If you don't know pro-e then you should learn it, as limiting yourself to a single CAD package can also limit the jobs which you will be qualified when you graduate. Different industries have different software requirements and choose their software accordingly. While you have the opportunity to get free versions of all the major players through FIRST it doesn't hurt to go play with them.

What Greg said is absolutely correct.

The corporation I work for uses Pro/E, Unigraphics and Catia among other programs depending on what division you work at. It takes time to assimilate to all of these but the basics commands are generally similar.

FYI Pro/E is super easy to use compared to a lot of other CAD packages after using half a dozen systems I still think it's the most intuitive to a mechanical engineer. Ever use UG/NX now that one still drives me nuts?
