This study was conducted to ascertain the extent of students' awareness of electronic waste in the Faculty of Engineering at Sabratha University, and their awareness of the risks inherent in improper handling and disposal of waste. Data for this study were collected through the distribution of 260 questionnaires. The descriptive research method was used to analyze the results and to show the relationship between its components. The Excel program was used to apply the three-point Likert scale, in order to calculate the arithmetic mean, the standard deviation ratio, and the T-test, as well as to determine the direction of the sample and the rank of the question. The results were compared with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The obtained results show that the extent of students' awareness of electronic waste was (moderate).
