The Course-Management System was designed to integrate books, computers and live teachers in an effective manner for courses with large numbers of students and instructors. The logistic problems associated with multifaceted instructional programs were solved, in part, by using PLATO--a computer-assisted instruction system centered at the University of Illinois. Students in the computer-managed course acquire basic information and concepts from individual reading. Their attention to the material is maintained and their progress monitored by a previously developed Computer-Assisted Instruction Study-Management System. Lectures and standard quiz sections are little used. The time of instructors is invested in remediation for students having trouble mastering the core curriculum and in teaching seminars. The role of the computer is to manage study behavior, administer on-line achievement tests, and schedule group tutorial and seminar sessions.

Modem manufacturing systems involve many processes and operations that can be monitored and controlled at several levels of intelligence. At the highest level there is a computer that supervises the various manufacturing functions, whereas at the lowest level there are stand alone computer controlled systems of manufacturing processes and robotic cells. Until recenty computer-aided manufacturing systems constituted isolated "islands" of automation, each oriented to a particular application, but present day systems offer integrated approaches to manufacturing and enterprise operations. These modem systems, known as computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems, can easily meet the current performance and manufacturing competitiveness requirements under strong environmental changes. CIM systems are much of a challenge, and imply a systemic approach to the design and operation of a manufacturing enterprise. Actualy, a CIM system must take into account in a unified way the following three views : the user view, the technology view, and the enterprise view. This means that CIM includes both the engineering and enterprise planning and control activities, as well as the information flow activities across all the stages of the system.
