i want to know some information about ...

Software depends on what you would like to do. There are many schematics designs and testign softwares out there then you take your design after it has been prototyoped on a bread board or wire wrap and use a PCB designer like Ultiboard, Eagle or Pspice to make your PCB design.

You should downoload triel versins and see what software suit you the best since "the best" is only a matter of personal opinion.

It also depends on what is your focus in the EE field.

RF/Microwave/Wireless
ADS, Microwave Office,

IC(Analog/RF/Digital)
Cadence, Mentor .....

Digital
VHDL ....

Test
LabView, Visual Basic.

Some good ones in general are:
PSpice, Matlab, Orcad, Power PCB.

Also you can search for jobs online and
see what the companies are looking for.

Good Luck

hi
for a elecrical engineer MATLAB,EMTP and C or VB or Vc are requirement .
for more orcad (pspice) and a uC (PIC /AVR...)
are useful.

I think for "electrical" engineer, maybe autocad electrical would be useful.

Added after 3 minutes:

and Hysys - think that's for power

HI,

I work as an EE in Cogeneration or combined heat and power plant design and construction.

The correct answer is "E - All of the above".

What I mean is that the more software you learn and master, the better an engineer you will become. I have been in my field for over 23 years and have seen nearly all types of software.

CAD software are essential if you are going to do any design, regardless of sub-discipline. But knowing your standard word processor, spreadsheet and database software are equally important.

As you settle into what you are going to do for a living "when you grow up" as the old phrase goes, you will learn those software systems that are specific to your discipline.

Good luck and Happy New Year!!

I think Matlab,C language,Turbo C++, Electronic Workbench and Proteus are a must for every electrical engineers. Also, learn to use any microprocessor simulator software u can find.

All the best with your studies.

All of them, if you wish, but I think you should start with C language as soon as posible. If you know it, you'll use it.

I think you have to learn programming concepts.It is not so important the name of programming language.C is a good start.When you become familier with programming concepts you will see that you will learn easily whatever you need.
Your needs will determine the name of software you need.

don't mean to sound unpolitically correct, but I suggest you do an internship and learn like we all have ... sorry, but leary of helping others from countries that pirate other countries technology
