A general method for constructing interesting topological gauge theories in arbitrary dimensions is presented. The basic framework upon which these models are built is given by the geometrical data of the "universal bundle with connection" of Atiyah and Singer. The models considered include theories which represent the moduli spaces of flat connections and solutions to the Yang-Mills equations. The former theories correspond to supersymmetric versions of the recently introduced BF systems. In all cases we show explicitly that the quantization can be carried out through the construction of an off-shell nilpotent BRST operator, thus guaranteeing the metric independence of these models.
