Abstract
In order to remain competitive in software industry, software engineers need to continuously improve their proficiency. Personal Software Process (PSPSM) provides a strong concept which helps software engineers inspecting and improving themselves. Yet, when being applied on an undergraduate computer engineering course, several complex mathematical calculations from PSP official exercises could encumber the performance of students who do not possess adequate mathematics background. This paper reports a result of implementing PSP course for undergraduate computer engineering students in Chiang Mai University, Thailand.

Summary
Personal Software Process (PSPSM) is a software development process which focuses on improving quality of software development in an individual level. Improvement of software development process has recently become an emerging trend in Thailand Several leading universities, such as Naresuan University, Kasetsart University and Chiang Mai University, currently include PSP in their undergraduate and graduate curriculum [4,5]. Chiang Mai University made a first attempt to implement the official PSP academic material in an undergraduate course in 2010. In order to keep the course as similar to the official training as possible, the academic materials were minimally adjusted. Several students were demotivated, causing them unable to keep up with the subsequent exercises This left rooms for improvement for forthcoming course implementation. A case study of attempting to implement the official PSP material in a Thai undergraduate course is described in the third section.
