Adaptive experts (Hatano & Inagaki, 1986), onthe other hand, are able to think more fluidly and solve problems that they are unfamiliar with(often called “novel problems” in the AE literature), as well as the typical problems in their field.Frequently, adaptive experts actively seek new contexts, reflect on their own understanding, andconsider multiple viewpoints (Bransford et al., 2000; Wineburg, 1998).Engineering can be thought of as the creative application of fundamental principles to solve aproblem given limited resources. Because engineers may be required to solve a different problemunder different limitations each on project, engineering students need to strive to be adaptiveexperts, and engineering

The student either accomplishes the task in accordance with the maintenance instructionsprovided by the manufacturer or not.

Thus we asked the students to evaluate the clearance rate of creatinine in acommercially available hemodialyzer, and model the system; pure water represented blood.They were told to monitor the pressure difference across the membrane in the removal of waterfrom blood and also to alter the flow rates.
