This study intends to investigate if classroom-based, experiential learning approaches can and should be incorporated in a higher education project management curriculum, in order to achieve cognitive, psychomotor, and affective learning outcomes that underpin the meta-competencies required in today's work environment of project managers.

It has been suggested that threshold competencies underlying course learning outcomes in some project management higher education programs are no longer sufficient to deal with increasing complexity in projects, and meta-competencies need to be developed for project managers to cope with the demands of increasingly complex projects. This study intends to research new ways of achieving learning outcomes that reinforce the desire meta-competencies needed by project managers due to the increasing complexities of current project management.
