ResumenEl propósito de este artículo es establecer un plan de acción para minimizar los desperdicios sólidos generados en la Universidad Politécnica de Sinaloa, México, y conocer la actitud de los estudiantes ante el reciclaje. Se utilizó una metodología de carácter descriptivo con un diseño no experimental. El instrumento utilizado consistió en un cuestionario compuesto de 14 preguntas, organizadas en dos grupos. El primer grupo busca identificar la actitud que tienen los estudiantes hacia el reciclaje y el segundo grupo identificar la concepción sobre educación ambiental. Este cuestionario fue aplicado a estudiantes de las carreras de ingeniería mecatrónica, en biotecnología, en energía, en logística y transporte y licenciatura en terapia física. El análisis permitió establecer la bases para iniciar con el proyecto de reciclaje llamado upsin-recicla, y se generaron nuevos proyectos y acciones enfocados al desarrollo tecnológico sustentables. Se concluye que este tipo de estrategias permite involucrar a la comunidad universitaria a desarrollar proyectos y fomentar una actitud favorable en beneficio del medio ambiente.

A descriptive methodology with a non-experimental design was employed. The instrument used consisted of a questionnaire that included 14 items organized in two groups. The first group was oriented to identify the attitude of students toward recycling while the second group was aimed to identify the concept of environmental education. This questionnaire was applied to students of the careers of engineering in the areas of mechatronic, biotechnology, energy, logistic and transport, plus a group of physical therapy. The analysis allowed establishing the bases to start with the recycling project called upsin-recicla, and new projects and actions focused on sustainable technological development were developed. It is concluded that this type of strategies allows the university community to develop projects and foster a favorable attitude towards the environment.
