Challenge	The Munich University of Applied Sciences was faced with the challenge of teaching future technical writers how to create ergonomic and intuitive products. The goal was to explain complex devices using images and technical drawings. The university needed a software that could run on both Mac and Windows systems, and that was easy to learn and use. The software also needed to be able to support popular file formats, as the students would be working with different CAD systems in their professional lives. Furthermore, the university wanted to develop strong media competence among the students, which required the software to be able to work together and with other systems. Read More
About Customer	The customer in this case study is the Munich University of Applied Sciences. Founded in 2011, the university offers a Technical Documentation and Communications course run by Gertrud Grünwied. The course focuses on usability and integrates technical writers into the development process. The university aims to develop ergonomic and intuitive software systems and to educate students with a strong media competence. The students learn CAD so they can understand design in detail, including being able to read technical plans and their dimension units. After completing their first degree, most of the students launch into their career and work for large industrial organisations. Read More
Solution	The university chose CorelCAD™ as the solution to their challenge. CorelCAD™ is a CAD system that can run on both Mac and Windows systems, making it a versatile choice. The software is easy to learn, allowing students to quickly understand design in detail, including being able to read technical plans and their dimension units. CorelCAD™ also supports popular file formats, making it compatible with other CAD systems that the students may encounter in their professional lives. Additionally, the university was given access to the Corel Academic Site Licence (CASL), which provided additional technical graphics and vector-drawing software, such as CorelDRAW® Technical Suite and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. This allowed the students to develop strong media competence, a key aspect of the Technical Documentation and Communication course. Read More Log in to view content
