1 Identify your needs

Before you start looking for software, you need to identify your specific needs and goals. What kind of projects are you working on? What are the main problems or challenges you need to solve? What are the key performance indicators or metrics you need to measure? What are the standards and regulations you need to comply with? What are the budget and time constraints you have? By answering these questions, you can narrow down your search and focus on the software that meets your requirements.

Firstly, define your plant or type of equipment. in engineering, there are a huge amount of resources and specialists in a field. In most cases your company will also have software already, sometimes, you need to see what the issues or gaps are and then scan the market to find the packages that satisfies your needs. Draw up a list of criteria or points of functionality you need.

2 Research the options

Once you have a clear idea of what you need, you can research the available options in the market. You can use various sources, such as online reviews, industry magazines, blogs, forums, podcasts, webinars, or newsletters. You can also ask your colleagues, mentors, or peers for recommendations or feedback. You can also contact the software vendors or developers directly and ask for demos, trials, or case studies. You should compare the features, benefits, drawbacks, costs, and compatibility of different software and see how they fit your needs.

I would then research and consider what are the industry recommended software packages or ones that recur through the market and research. Most vendors have videos or data or fact sheets on their products. A serious vendor will offer you a trial or demonstrate their software so you can see if the needs you identified can be met by the software offered. Sometimes you can also tweak or ask for minor changes or functionality which might be there but not active.

Se debe ser critico al momento de investigar opciones pues los vendedores pueden convencerte de su solución a pesar de no ser la ideal. Justo en esta parte es cuando la experiencia se vuelve importante sobre la actitud.

3 Learn the basics

After you have selected the software that suits your needs, you need to learn how to use it effectively. You can start by reading the user manuals, guides, tutorials, or FAQs provided by the software vendor or developer. You can also watch online videos, courses, or webinars that teach you the basics of the software. You can also join online communities, forums, or groups where you can ask questions, share tips, or get support from other users. You should practice using the software on simple or sample projects and get familiar with the interface, functions, and commands.

Follow tutorials, most software especially in the engineering space has forums dedicated to discussions or forums. Set up test cases or find samples or sample network or data to test it to learnt the function. Before going straight into production I would be inclined to say the user should be comfortable with the software and also know what it does and what its outputs are. Key would be to interpret what the output is and to ensure you give it the correct inputs as well.

Practice Practice Practice. Never gets old. Continuous usage of something will develop inherent skills. When you repeat or become immersed in working with software, you start mastering the tool. At some point you start picking up the advanced functions and learn to integrate with other packages or data sets to become more effective.

5 Seek feedback

One of the best ways to improve your software skills and performance is to seek feedback from others.
