Summary/Abstract: In this paper we present our results from the implementation of an introductory course in Project Management (PM) at two universities in two countries Bulgaria and USA. We integrated Curriculum and Resources from Beta version of the curriculum guidelines that offers 30 knowledge modules to pick and choose topics and learning outcomes from and a comprehensive term project for a PM-1 foundational course. We adapted the topics for our individual courses in different ways to teach PM to our undergraduate students, but we used the same capstone term guide. Our research indicates that students did very well in mastering the technical knowledge modules but had difficulty in grasping the behavioral knowledge modules like communication. For future instructors we provide recommendations to improve teaching of PM to undergraduates.
