%X The system employing semester credit units requires students'
 good self-regulated learning in order that they attain learning goals
 successfully. The present article concerns a research aimed at
 knowing (1) of what level mechanical engineering students' self-
 dependence in learning was as seen from both their self-stated views
 about their self-regulated learning and their self-regulated learning
 in practice; (2) whether there was any difference in level of self-regulated learning among those having different types of high school
 educational background; (3) whether there was any difference in
 level of self-regulated learning among those having studied for
 different numbers of semesters; and (4) whether the environment
 where they live influences their self-dependence in learning, or, in
 other words, their self-regulated learning.
 The research employed a positivistic approach which was
 exploratory in nature. The population consisted of 254 students of
 the Mechanical Engineering Education Study Program, Faculty of
 Engineering, State University of Yogyakarta, who were taking
 courses in one even-numbered semester or another in the academic
 year of 2005/2006. The sample size was 228 and the research
 subjects were randomly selected. The data were compiled by using a
 closed self-report type of questionnaire using a Linkert-type scale
 model. The data were analyzed by means of non-parametric
 statistics using the Kruskal-Wallis Test and the Mann-Whitney U
 Test since the data distribution did not fulfill the inferential
 parametric analysis assumption.
