I don’t have any friends or colleagues who learned Autodesk in engineering school recently. By and large it seems to be either SolidWorks or Pro/ENGINEER (or whatever it is called now).

Second, I’d suggest that if you go the laptop route, plan to use the on-campus computers for CAD work an any beefy computations and focus your laptop on portability. If you end up getting a personal desktop, THEN aim for raw power.
