THE STATE OF GREEN COMPUTING KNOWLEDGE AMONG STUDENTS IN A MALAYSIAN UNIVERSITY

ANALYSIS

Two-hundred and eight (N = 208) university students from a Malaysian public university took part in the survey. They were randomly and positively sampled from its nine faculties, and comprised an equal number of males (n = 104) and females (n = 104). The portion representing the ICT group was 46.6% (n = 97), positively sampled from two main faculties offering ICT-related degree programmers, i.e. the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). The ICT group consisted of students pursuing various ICT-based degrees in Computer and Information Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology and Multimedia, and Computer-Aided Design and Drawing. The non-ICT group constituted 53.4% (n = 111) of the total sample, randomly selected from faculties and departments not dealing specifically with ICT-related studies, such as Psychology, Sociology, Political Science, Economics, Management Sciences, Religion, Education and English Language. All of the students were computer literate with a computer experience ranging between 10 and 20 years.
