1. Paradigm for Computer Technology Program Development Peter Ping Liu, Ph D, PE, CQE, OCP and CSIT Eastern Illinois University School of Technology Charleston, IL 61920

2. Program/Curriculum Development Do you want to do it alone?

3. Of course, we need to involve everyone.

4. Reality #1 People with doctoral degrees have a lot of ideas, and are capable of offering many directions, like a star fish.

5. Reality # 2 Committee members like to have debate to show who is the smartest. But, they are pretty flexible, very open-minded. They change their ideas every 2 weeks.

6. Result We are on the same page again, again, again, and again, …. A committee is where we debate and argue fearlessly, and finally decide to take no action.

7. Any Suggestions? I am ready to shut up if you have any better ideas than mine.

8. My Suggestions Relax Use Paradigm to build consensus
