This paper describes the evolution in the design of an academic program in computing at the graduate level in a developing country. The particular norming aspects of the program's environment are discussed. This program is sui generis due to the requirements of the particular institution where it exists. Some of the factors that affect academic programs in computing in a developing country are briefly commented.
This paper describes the design process for the program in computing of the Colegio de Postgraduados located in Chapingo, Mexico.
The program was designed to fit the research and academic requirements of the agronomical community in Mexico.
First, a brief description of the organization of the Colegio de Postgraduados and of its broad objectives will be presented. Then the setting in which the program was developed and the design process itself will be described.
