CATIA is a good place to start learning 3D CAD, although it tends to be a little expensive. I think you can pick up the basic Part Design product for under $3,000 US.

A better alternative would be to learn CATIA at a college or university. You can pick up the student version of CATIA (containing most of the popular products) for $300 US (that might be the old price), if your school is registered with Dassault/IBM.

Did you say you're studying Mechanical Engineering; what CAD classes does your school offer?

Along with learning CAD, I'd suggest you start with some basic English classes, and focus on proper spelling and grammar.
