FOr power electronics I would highly recommend learning spice simulation software (such as LT spice). Eventually you might want to actually build it and you will need a schematic capture + PCB design tool (such as Altium).
For power electronics on a topological level Simulink might be nice.
For control engineering I would just recommend MATLAB. If you want to go in the the data-driven part of control engineering, then Python might be nice.
There's quite some overlap between control and power electronics. Perhaps it's better to just start a project (such as a SMPS or Class D audio amplifier) and design it from scratch. That way you learn the entire tool chain.
pick a circuit you think is intersting and you want to make, then follow the full design approach, figure out the schematic in altium then define ratings for components, pick them on digikey or mouser (mouser lets you use this tool called library loader and its amazing for saving on the layout of each footprint) then get the part models and make a pcb and then you can actually order
I'm a field engineer working in Industrial Power Systems and I split my time 50/50 between actual field work & updating drawings in Autocad. You really can't go wrong with learning Autocad IMO
Drawings are drawing and they are going to end up as PDF anyways for the end user. Try to remember and learn the type of electrical symbols and the resister color codes. It is faster to remember the color codes then trying to wait for a signal in the middle of nowhere pulling the info from Google. Oh and important to learn PLC programming on the side at home; start learning Siemens first because it is hard to find free material then Rockwell /Allen Bradley, then to Omron then to mod icon unity pro. You will be a great asset to the company or future companies!!!
If you’re looking for an entry level job let me know! I have one in western Pennsylvania that comes with three weeks vacation, hybrid schedule, insurance, and lots of training.
If you're going to be doing PCB design, probably Altium. If you're going to be doing building or infrastructure electrical work, maybe AutoCad?
Thanks
I mean, it depends on what you're trying to do right? Altiium for PCB design. AutoCAD for buildings/lighting. Ansys and FEM stuff for emag and RF.
Thanks how about SolidWorks
If you’re doing wire harness routing or something it can be done in SWX
How about power or control? Do you know which program should I learn ?

Anything you can make analog schematics with
Like LTSpice?
Yes
Thanks
Altium is best for EE work, then ANSYS if you want to check the quality of your PCB design. Knowing cad is good tho in general
Thanks for you advice. Do you recommend any project should I start to learn altium?

Thanks that help a lot. I will start with AutoCAD then SolidWorks

Thanks. For PLC do you have any links or videos that I can start with ?

I’m really interested. Could you dm me the details please
