Though design guidelines' benefit has been shown in the conceptual stage, little is known how novice and experienced design engineers benefit in the embodiment design phase. To address this, a mobile eye tracking study has been developed and carried out with seventeen practitioners from and in industry. Results show differences in how design guidelines impact experts' and novices’ performance, indicate beneficial ways of using them, point out the participants areas of major interest and show the way of representation that attracts the most attention. The study concludes that, especially for novice design engineers, design guidelines with a redefined and clear structure are valuable and needed as input to the embodiment design phase.

尽管在概念设计阶段已显示出设计准则的好处，但鲜为人知的是，新手和经验丰富的设计工程师如何在实施例设计阶段中受益。为了解决这个问题，已经开发了移动眼动追踪研究，并与来自和来自工业界的17名从业者一起进行了研究。结果表明，设计指南如何影响专家和新手的性能，表明使用它们的有益方式，指出参与者最感兴趣的领域以及表示出最受关注的表示方式的差异。该研究得出的结论是，特别是对于新手设计工程师而言，具有重新定义且清晰的结构的设计准则是有价值的，并且需要作为实施例设计阶段的输入。
