Novice designers' use of prototypes in engineering design
TL;DR: It was found that some of the reported prototyping practices by novice designers, such as using inexpensive prototypes early and using prototypes to define user requirements, occurred infrequently and lacked intentionality.
Prototyping for context: exploring stakeholder feedback based on prototype type, stakeholder group and question type.
TL;DR: It is suggested that designers seeking input from stakeholders on new concepts should consider context-specific prototyping strategies, especially when designing at distance and across cultures.
