Abstract: Successful Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integration in curricula is achieved by creating and maintaining the system infrastructure, motivating and mobilizing faculty resources, identifying course material to suit curricular requirements, developing matching case studies, and facilitating student learning through discussions and hands-on activities. The three authors collectively have direct experience, albeit gathered at different times and under varied circumstances, in addressing these issues with regards to the ERP system SAP R/3. By organizing these issues under three major categories, the authors present a cohesive theme for successful SAP R/3 integration into undergraduate MIS and business curricula.

Keywords: ERP, SAP R/3, courseware
