BPM115 Materials Technology provides students an insight into material properties and their applicability in different buildings, facilities and event venues. Key considerations may include speed of construction, balancing durability with expediency and even corporate image. Students learn to evaluate each material that may make up a component, and several sub-systems that may make up a system to serve a function within a building or during and event. Several systems (e.g weather screens, ventilation fans) would be used to illustrate these considerations so as to demonstrate the rationale for selecting certain materials.
