Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlations between technological problem solving strategies and variables related with self-regulation of students in engineering college. The subjects for this study are 120 students from engineering college. After using the problem solving strategy task and self-regulation questionnaire, they were classified into two groups, upper 25% group and bottom 25% group. The data was analyzed using the SPSS 10.0 for windows. The statistical technique used for data analysis was Pearson's correlation coefficient and t-test. The major conclusions of this study are as follows. Frist, there is positive correlation between strategies of design and self-efficacy & planning. Second, there is positive correlation between strategies of trouble shooting and self-monitoring, planning and effort. Third, especially self-efficacy, one of the self-regulation subvariables, directly affects on technological problem solving strategies.
