COMPUTER TRAINING FOR INDUSTRY IS OFTEN NOT CAPABLE OF PROVIDING ADVICE CUSTOM-TAILORED FOR A SPECIFIC STUDENT AND A SPECIFIC LEARNING SITUATION. IN THIS PAPER WE DESCRIBE AN INTELLIGENT COMPUTER-AIDED SYSTEM THAT PRO- VIDES MULTIPLE EXPLANATIONS AND TUTORING FACILITIES TEMPERED TO THE INDIV- IDUAL STUDENT IN AN INDUSTRIAL SETTING. THE TUTOR IS BASED ON A MATHEMATI- CALLY ACCURATE FORMULATION OF THE KRAFT RECOVERY BOILER AND PROVIDES AN INTERACTIVE SIMULATION COMPLETE WITH HELP, HINTS, EXPLANATIONS, AND TUTOR- ING. THE APPROACH IS EXTENSIBLE TO A WIDE VARIETY OF ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMS IN WHICH THE GOAL IS TO TRAIN AN OPERATOR TO CONTROL A COMPLEX SYSTEM AND TO SOLVE DIFFICULT "REAL TIME" EMERGENCIES.
