First, unload them at a colony.
Note: As those are _alien_ components, you can´t build them yourself, even if you have the tech to build them. So you can only build a ship designed with those parts, when you do have those parts laying around!
When I get alien components that are the same as I am building, ie terraforming module, cryogenic bay etc. I will usually dissasemble them (this results in no net gain for me) and then using sm mode to create them as my systems. It saves trouble down the road on occasion. It is a work around to keep things simple, but like some of the others it does not benifit me economically in any way.
