So basicly here is my current situation.
I am working for a large Contract machining company and am fully responsible for all electrical/electronic repair. I have a Associate degree in Electronics Engineering and Technology, followed by 7 years on the job experience. I am looking to go from technician to engineer and I am looking for some guidance in what skills would be best to have.That pretty much comes down to Software and obviously electrical fundamentals. I guess what I am saying is what software experience would any engineering firm look for in hiring someone like myself. My electrical experience is extremely refined, I can work on anything from main lines to component level repair and do it with no help from anyone. I currently have pretty much every kind of PLC software at my disposle and CAD software.( Gotta love newsgroups!) I am new here, but have been reading all the posts for awhile now. So this is my introduction to everyone here.
