الملخص EN

Despite the significant increase in the amount of electronic waste and the danger it poses at present and in the future, Libya still does not pay the necessary attention to this waste, unlike many countries, from here we decided to conduct this study which aims to assess the awareness of students of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tripoli towards electronic waste, its sources and its danger to the environment and humans.

The problem of the research was that societies in developing countries still suffer from a low level of environmental awareness in general and awareness of electronic waste in particular, and there is an increase in the use of electronic devices, which was accompanied by an increase and at large rates in the quantities of electronic waste, and thus increased risks related to this use on Human health and environment.

This study relied on a questionnaire that was designed and distributed to 505 students to find out the extent of their awareness of electronic waste.

The results of the study showed that students had an acceptable awareness towards these wastes, the results also showed that a proportion of them did not know what electronic wastes were or they did not hear of it as a result of the lack of awareness of electronic waste and its danger, and the absence of this topic in the educational curriculum that the students studied
