Laboratory for Computer Integrated Manufacturing CoursesI. IntroductionThis paper describes the development of an online laboratory for students in Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) courses. Computer-Integrated Manufacturing is acomprehensive topic taught in a 400 level course to senior undergraduate students, and in a 600level online course to graduate students. Teaching computer-integrated manufacturing coursescan be a challenge because of the breadth of topics spanning from manufacturing technology toelectronic technology and computer technology which encompasses concepts frommanufacturing processes such as modeling and milling, to manufacturing automation systemsand manufacturing information management

imbalance.IntroductionOn one hand, in the US and Western Europe, countries are challenged to train andretain enough well-qualified engineers and scientists to meet the needs of their owneconomies, without having to rely increasingly on international students andprofessionals. Countries are addressing this challenge in various ways, based on theirhigher education systems and the interests of government and the private sector. Onthe other hand, increasing the challenge on the US side is a recognition that globalawareness is critical in preparing emerging domestic engineers to work in theincreasingly global marketplace. Although we have spoken here about the US andWestern Europe, the basic tenets of this paper are equally applicable to the issuesfacing other
