English abstract:
At the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Vienna University of Technology (VUT) a
very differentiated teaching approach is used in the field of industrial engineering. Selecting the relevant knowledge
domains for industrial engineers on the job in the German-speaking world, a comprehensive profile of requirements
of operational competencies has been identified. Based on that and the state-of-the-art knowledge in the field of
cognitive science, didactic ways and methodologies have been deducted to help the students develop the skills
needed. This paper elaborates especially on activity-based learning in context of business games. The resulting
insights can lead to broad usage of business games in the education of industrial and manufacturing engineers.
