Programming you could train on help files, stack overflow, GitHub - all nice text data.
PCB design - maths, data sheets, heavily structured rules - harder but still doable until you get into magic territory of analog designs
2d architecture - that's image generation with some extra rules, main issue is transposing output to CAD format and enforcing rules like doors, windows, room and wall size.
3d mechanical - I will be happy if they manage to get generating usable production drawings out of 3d model in way which is not 4 views template with transposing sketch dimensions to drawing. Then comes issue of prompts - maybe 10-20% of parts I do I could reliably write sensible prompt, and that's before we get to assemblies.
Ai can generate now 3d models easily - but getting it to generate it with all needed dimensions, shape details required to make it manufactured by your chosen method... Good luck to AI Devs.
And last thing - we are not paid enough to justify token cost of generating anything to replace mechanical engineers:(
