Learning Management Software: Mechanical Engineering Perspective

Hey guys and girls,
Will a certificate course in Microsoft Office or Primavera be of any help to me if i plan to continue in the core mechanical fields like Fluids or Machine design?

    The management software (I'd not call MS Office a 'Management Software'); would help if you're in the team-lead or project management role. MS Office is a 'basic' must for any engineer these days and it'd be a huge mistake not to know one.

    Plus, MS Office is tad easy to learn (at least; basic usage) and doing a 'certificate' course would look bit 'odd'. You should be very comfortable with basic text processing and spreadsheets; that's it.

    Ohh, excuse me for my carelessness. I meant Microsoft Project.
    So, you mean to say that even if i want to do a core mechanical course, knowledge of something like that would help me?

    The project management would chip in once you're actually managing a project or a team of engineers. I don't see it being useful to fresh graduates. I'm quite sure that the MS Project & other project management software is used in every engineering / technology industry.

    Thanks Big_K, this problem was confounding me for quite sometime now.

    Now i can sleep in peace. Good night Big_K and all other CEans (that is, assuming you also are in IST)
