We have used SASK to build the Dialysis Mentor, a programthat uses Socratic questioning to improve student performance and learning in an undergraduatebiomedical engineering lab. Small usability tests and a pilot run in a dialysis lab suggests thatDialysis Mentor and SASK systems in general can improve the value of pre-defined learn-by-doing task experiences.

While the approach to working with materials and technology Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2003, American Society for Engineering Educationcan be quite different, the value placed on creativity can be enhanced by interdisciplinarycollaboration, echoing Perkins (1988) assertion that when disciplinary boundaries arecrossed so too does the possibility for invention. Faculties often assume their students develop skills in creative thinking implicitly asa result of performing in their curricula. Students, however, may struggle with creativeproblem solving.
