  Looking at the cartesian product X \times X of a topological space X with
itself, a natural map to be considered on that object is the involution that
interchanges the coordinates, i.e. that maps (x, y) to (y, x). The so-called
'symmetric squaring construction' in \v{C}ech homology with Z/2-coefficients
was introduced by Schick et al. 2007 as a map from the k-th \v{C}ech homology
group of a space X to the 2k-th \v{C}ech homology group of X \times X divided
by the above mentioned involution. It turns out to be a crucial construction in
the proof of a parametrised Borsuk-Ulam Theorem. The symmetric squaring
construction can be generalized to give a map in bordism, which will be the
main topic of this thesis. More precisely, it will be shown that there is a
well-defined, natural map from the k-th singular bordism group of X to the
2k-th bordism group of X \times X divided by the involution as above. Moreover,
this squaring really is a generalisation of the \v{C}ech homology case since it
is compatible with the passage from bordism to homology via the fundamental
class homomorphism. On the way to this result, the concept of \v{C}ech bordism
is first defined as a combination of bordism and \v{C}ech homology and then
compared to \v{C}ech homology.
