A case study was conducted with students from the University of León and the University of Xiangtan, who took a project management course in Spanish. The study assessed students' knowledge, competence, and perceptions of the course, which included lectures, exercises, seminars, and assignments. While students generally had positive perceptions, barriers included difficulties in teamwork, course organization, limited engagement in projects, and language challenges for students without a B2 Spanish certificate. The findings help identify strategies to enhance teaching in diverse engineering environments.},
