      In my opinion, AutoCAD and solid edge both are having their own levels. But the user interface of Inventor is much easier than solid edge while comparing. And I would like to suggest you, please a have a minimum knowledge of CAD software before going to learn any 3D modeling software. I recommend two CAD software for students to learn 2d and 3d. Please have a look at below links to download them...

      Well, If you're just starting I'd suggest you'be safer going with SolidWorks, AutoCAD and Inventor are being left behind (personal opinion) still, where I work we actually still use Inventor, and also Catia, but that's a bit expensive for someone starting out... If you want to have a short read about that here's an interesting article with the pros and cons of those http://jcadusa.com/mechanical-engineering-drawing-software/
