This course is designed to provide a comprehensive look at how building services and equipment affect the layout, building process and the final design of a construction project. Areas treated in this course are plumbing and drainage, electrical and ventilation (including air-conditioning and communication equipment [antennae]), safety and security (fire, emergency and disaster preparedness), external works (roads, driveways, fencing) and waste disposal.

This course has both theoretical and practical components and explores both the commonalities and the differences between the minor sports of table Tennis and Badminton. Analysis of the skill requirements for recreational and competitive situations is a major component.  Students are encouraged to develop their own skills in these sports as they focus on the option for teaching and coaching methodologies.  The course is based on competencies and students are required to demonstrate these competencies both as learners and teachers or coaches.
