Another way of conceptualizing the purpose of phenomenography is“to describe variation in experiences in a way that is useful and meaningful, providing insightinto what would be required for individuals to move from less powerful to more powerful waysof understanding a phenomenon” (Bowden, 2005, p. 72).Participants:We are choosing to focus on engineering students who started technology-based companieseither during or immediately after college and whose endeavors ceased operation without eitherselling the venture or achieving a traditional “exit” event.

Information technologies are used in various disciplines to address issues such asinformation processing, data mining, knowledge modeling, etc. Its final goal is to providenecessary aid to professionals during decision-making process. Design professionals are oftenconfronted with soft data, which they somehow need to interpret and finally integrate intodesign.

often referred to asmechatronic systems. The term mechatronics began as a patented special type of technology byJapanese companies in the early 1970’s 1 . At that time, its focus was on application of electroniccomputers in controlling mechanical systems. Since then it has grown into an engineering designphilosophy that integrates traditional engineering disciplines in the design of products. Althoughmany definitions of the term mechatronics have been proposed, the widely used definition treatsmechatronics as a multidisciplinary engineering philosophy that synergistically combines tradi-tional mechanical engineering with electronics, controls and computing 2 .
