A double action-research experiment explored the application of the fundamental principles of knowledge management for organizations to an innovative educational engineering application concerning knowledge evaluation, in parallel with the teaching of a data science and technology course. The researcher (in humanities) took his own teaching (in engineering sciences, as a technical expert) as his research object (in knowledge management sciences): in addition to transmitting knowledge, the teacher-researcher must become a knowledge actor in knowledge assessment, in the deep sense of the possibility that his students may activate this knowledge in a future professional context, such as solving a technical problem. By self-applying his method of creativity stimulation, the author-researcher allowed the author-teacher to develop an examination statement suitable for evaluating, at the end of the course, the capacities formally constituting the prerequisites of the subsequent years of the course.
