        manufacturing and construction.

2. Conduct lecture/discussion on materials and energy used for manufacturing and construction,
        the development and enforcement of legislation and the implications of these for
        sustainability.

3. Organise field trips to manufacturing entities and material testing facilities.

4. Invite guest lectures to do presentations on manufacturing and testing processes.
