What Computer Skills (gral.) Do Practitioners Require?

[gicoga]

Hello.

I am in the process offinishing a thesis I've been working on for a while, and I've been
asked to try to get the insight of practicing Industrial or Product Designers on the following:

What computer skills do you use in your professional practice?

If you could spare a couple of minutes to provide your input I'd really appreciate it. Please feel free to be as specific as possible (i.e., NURBS modelling? but also not just related to CAD; do you use computer programming? project management tools?).

(If you would like to read the abstract of the thesis, feel free to check this link:

Hard to answer in my own opinion but I see a lot who is known to CAD and it's #1 rule of thumb to learn I think for this position other than that I'm not sure.
