Abstract:
Despite the prevalence of development approaches in design education, their impact on product resulting products often remains unassessed. This empirical study evaluates (1) the influence of development method application on product concept quality and (2) the effect of effort spent on both. Participants in an undergraduate course were supervised in their development process. The results show a significant positive correlation between effort and method application quality. However, effort spent and method application quality show a moderate yet insignificant effect on product concept quality.
