Social Network-based Self-Regulated Learning for Engineers: Is it possible? Gonca Altuger-Genc1Lifelong learning gained more importance as the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education and Technology(ABET) criteria require that engineering programs demonstrate that their students attain “a recognition of the needfor, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning”. Universities across the nation are implementing modules,projects, case studies, and online set-ups to meet the lifelong learning criterion. The concept of lifelong learningdiffers than the traditional in-class learning in being self-regulated and voluntary. These two characteristics oflifelong learning make it

The solar collector rotated as the sun position/angle was changing,indicating the functionality of the control system that was design to achieve this task.Experimental measurements indicate that the water in the tank was heated by the solar energybeing absorbed by the solar collector. Moreover, the water temperature measurements atdifferent heights in the storage tank show the thermosiphon effect has been attained. Solar waterheating utilizing thermosiphon is attractive because it eliminates the need for a circulating pump.Introduction Acquiring new instructional laboratory
