    Abstract
    Identifying the purpose of a prototype is central to making informed decisions about the kind of
    prototype to build. Houde and Hill (1997) propose a model for classifying prototypes according to
    their purpose and the design questions they answer. Since this model was created for user
    interaction design, it has never been applied to physical prototypes on a large scale or to a
    progression of prototypes through the product development cycle. Ten physical prototypes from an
    MIT mechanical engineering senior capstone design course are evaluated according to the Houde
    and Hill (1997) model. With only a few challenges, the model is found to be applicable to physical
    prototypes, providing insight into the nature of physical prototyping, the product development
    cycle, and MIT’s senior design course. In the process, a notional relationship between the
    progression of the product development cycle and the number of design questions answered is
    proposed.
