Therefore, strategies to reduce waiting time are required. In addition to strategies to reduce actual waiting time, strategies to reduce the perceived waiting time are investigated. Several factors influencing perceived waiting time and waiting satisfaction of customers. The purpose of the following research is to capture the current state of perceived waiting time and waiting satisfaction through a systematic literature review. Design/methodology/approach: Among other, the paper will answer the following questions. "In which industries are perceived waiting time and waiting satisfaction particularly frequently investigated?" "How does the interest of the topic change over time?" "Which factors influence perceived waiting time and customer waiting satisfaction?" The work presented in this paper is based on a systematic literature review of 152 empirical studies that were published on perceived waiting time and waiting satisfaction in academic databases from 1984 to 2018. Findings: Pre-process waiting is the waiting period before the service is provided. Pre-process waiting is considered in a large number of studies. The majority of the studies relate to the health sector. Mostly surveys were based on questionnaires. 121 different characteristics of factors were identified in the studies. Originality/Value of paper: Research results on the topic of perceived waiting time and waiting satisfaction were structured and presented thematically, by a systematic literature analysis. This provides the basis for further developments in the subject area. The results enable new ways to apply strategies to reducing perceived waiting time and increasing waiting satisfaction.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RichKretschmerGoldmannetal., author = {Rich, Beatrice Monique and Kretschmer, Daniel and Goldmann, Christine and Hettling, Laura and Brandt, Andreas and Woll, Ralf}, title = {Praxis-Oriented Teaching of Project Management Skills for STEM Students in Higher Education}, series = {2018 International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE), 4-7 December 2018, Wollongong, NSW, Australia}, booktitle = {2018 International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE), 4-7 December 2018, Wollongong, NSW, Australia}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, isbn = {978-1-5386-6522-0}, doi = {10.1109/TALE.2018.8615345}, pages = {829 -- 834}, abstract = {Nowadays more people work in small teams and projects than in the past. If the students enter the world of work after graduation, they should not only have specialist knowledge. They should know how to plan and implement projects and how to work in teams in a goal-oriented manner. The developed teaching and learning concept combines practice-oriented knowledge transfer by using digital elements. Through the methods game-based-learning, project-based-learning and role-playing the module was didactically prepared according to the requirements. Due to the interdisciplinary orientation, the module is very suitable for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) students with ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education) level 6 or 7. The teaching concept was developed at the Brandenburg University of Technology and has been enthusiastically accepted by students for several years.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WorlitzBrankeTroikeetal., author = {Worlitz, Jane and Branke, Marcus and Troike, Marie and Hettling, Laura and Woll, Ralf}, title = {The Contribution of Learning, Teaching and Assessment Activities to the Development of 21st Century STEM Competencies}, series = {2018 International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE), 4-7 December 2018, Wollongong, NSW, Australia}, booktitle = {2018 International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE), 4-7 December 2018, Wollongong, NSW, Australia}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, isbn = {978-1-5386-6522-0}, doi = {10.1109/TALE.2018.8615320}, pages = {316 -- 321}, abstract = {The aim of this research is to identify how learning, teaching and assessment activities promote the acquisition of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) competencies.

For this purpose, students' semester projects are analyzed in cooperation with the companies in the area of quality management. Derived from the projects and developments in the region will be made predictions to which future improvement projects companies will provide to students. In addition points are to be identified on which the students have to be specially prepared. Methodology Based on these data investigated whether the interest of companies in improvement projects has changed in the last 10 years. For this, the data are processed and grouped to see possible developments. Subsequently, the results will be compared with past and predicted regional development in the federal state of Brandenburg. From this it is estimated which future priorities could arise in the companies and on which situations the students have to be prepared. Findings The analysis shows that the projects are strongly geared on the success factors for companies, which are published in the media. It can be seen that companies want to implement the published success factors in the next 3 to 5 years. The companies are preparing for the future developments as an example increasing digitalization. Therefore, students must be able to respond to the challenges of digitalization strategies in the area of quality management. Research Limitation The results are limited to small and medium-sized enterprises considering the implementation of the improvement projects with the Six Sigma method. The results are specific to the economic context of the region and cannot be transferred globally. Value of paper The study shows that companies' focus on improvement projects has remained nearly the same over the last 10 years. This is justified by the fact that the companies investigated are active in the SME sector and often do not have the capacity for comprehensive quality management. Partly the quality management system is still under construction. The technical expertise still be developed there or a simple method for the SME sector should be created to improve their throughput.}, language = {en} }
