The Systems Analysis Department at Miami University has a long history of educating software engineers who are in high demand by computing industries. The hardware and software currently being used in this educational process is state-of-the-practice technology, rather than state-of-the-art. This project involves 6 workstations and associated software to be connected via an Ethernet. The emphasis in this equipment is on (1) a visual approach to analysis, design, and programming; (2) automation of tasks; (3) the use of integrated tools; and (4) resource sharing. The computing industry has been faced with a "software crisis" in the past two decades in which the size and complexity of software has exceeded our ability to control. Quality has lagged, schedules have been delayed, and cost estimates have been overrun. The use of automated, more visual, integrated tools and better resource sharing holds much promise as a solution to this crisis. By introducing students to this technology, they can eventually help to improve the quality of software produced in industry.

迈阿密大学系统分析系在培养计算机行业所需的软件工程师方面有着悠久的历史。目前在这一教育过程中使用的硬件和软件是最先进的实践技术，而不是最先进的。该项目涉及通过以太网连接的6个工作站和相关软件。该设备的重点是(1)分析、设计和编程的可视化方法；(2)任务的自动化；(3)综合工具的使用；以及(4)资源共享。在过去的二十年里，计算机业面临着一场软件危机，在这场危机中，软件的规模和复杂性已经超出了我们的控制能力。质量已经落后，进度被推迟，成本估计已经超支。使用自动化的、更直观的综合工具和更好的资源共享作为解决这场危机的办法大有可为。通过向学生介绍这项技术，他们最终可以帮助提高工业中生产的软件的质量。
