Weembarked on this mission of developing objectives, outcomes, and a curriculum while the facultywas in the process of teaching the initial courses in the CS major. The challenges we faced andthe associated solutions we developed offer insight to other computer science faculty who maybe called upon to provide similar assistance in developing programs around the world.Introduction Bringing information and communication technologies (ICT) to underdevelopedcountries has been a goal of the international community for several years; the potential benefitsderived from closing the “digital divide” have been well researched and documented.

One of the common tools isQuality Function deployment (QFD). In 2008 Gonzalez and et al published a paper addressingdesigning a supply chain management academic curriculum using QFD and benchmarking.

First, a set of disjoint high technology materials and examplesthat the teachers must integrate into their courses would simply not be used. Second anymaterials provided must match the time constraints associated with typical lecture formats.Finally, any new material added to the curriculum must be consistent with the guidelines of astate approved curriculum. Cognizant of these constraints our team of educators set about thedevelopment of technology based modules that could be used by high school faculty to enhancethe presentation of their science topics.This paper reports on our initial efforts to develop and provide these module materials.

We are developing WWW-based tutorials that provide step-by-step instructions onsetting up and running the simulations discussed above. The motivation for this is thatit allows classroom time to be spent on hands-on exploration of physical and numericalconcepts rather than on teaching the mechanics of using the software.
