The phenomena is no longer restricted to specific locations or 					professions, but impacts our society in general and the structures which 				surround us. The purpose of this course is to provide you with an					understanding of anti-terrorist measures and how they can be applied and 				incorporated into your daily design practice. 

LEARNING 		Students should gain an understanding of the underlying theories of OBJECTIVE		terrorism, the motives behind it and the various levels of measures to 					prevent and mitigate terrorist attacks on buildings and structures. 		
	 		You will become familiar with counter terrorist strategies & tactics.
			You will be able to develop and implement a mitigation plan. 
		 	You will be able to apply your newly acquired skills to design problems.
