In the research, education and in everyday practice, a need for and general understanding and a holistic approach is becoming more and more important. Still in concrete cases such approaches meet many challenges, mostly in form of misunderstanding between involved partners experts from different disciplines. Edu-cation in general does not provide training for such approach. This paper describes a case - a course which goal was to transfer knowledge from one area to another: A software Engineer-ing and management of software development projects was taught to students of management and economy. In addition to this the course pro-vided new teaching methods that students were not used to. Finally the course has been taught as a distance course, using internet-based tech-nology. All this elements made the course very challenging. The paper gives an overview of the case, identifies the challenges and discusses the lessons learned.
