Abstract

Technological recycling contributes to the reduction of environmental pollution. It is urgent, an adequate knowledge of techniques on the management of waste management of electronic devices and the environmental effect it can cause in society. The results obtained contributed to the knowledge in the following areas: Different ways that technological resources are used, access allowed to various technological resources to enhance availability and extension of the useful life of technological work tools. The continuous use of technological equipment entails responsibility in the adoption of techniques for its proper disposal or reuse. The objective of this study was to determine the usefulness of the technique of recycling computer equipment in university learning. The deductive analytical methodology was used with a quantitative approach through the technique of previous scientific literature review. In addition, a survey was applied to a group of first year engineering students at the Salesian Polytechnic University, to determine the knowledge about the reuse of technological resources and the impact of electronic waste in the environment where they live, being greater the benefits of having a learning that manages to channel correctly, a correct process of waste management in the environment of educational influence. It is concluded that having access to knowledge of various techniques for recycling technological media improves the selection of recycling techniques, resulting in commitment to proper disposal and management of waste.
