Industrial Mechanic/Millwright
Career and Technical Program
Fall semester begins,
Monday, August 20, 2018
This 11-month program prepares students for employment
as industrial plant maintenance mechanics or millwrights.
Students learn the basics of maintenance, fabrication,
installation, and alignment of equipment used in modern
industrial and manufacturing plants.
Theory classes provide technical information pertaining to
welding, hydraulics, electricity, rigging, pipe fitting, mechanical
drive/transmission systems, pumps, and equipment
installation and alignment.
Laboratory classes teach students to skillfully perform
welding and fabrication tasks as well as the maintenance of
hydraulic, electro/mechanical systems. The well-equipped
lab includes the latest technology in laser alignment of
rotating equipment. Blueprint reading and shop math are
taught and used in all areas of training. A general education
component of English, occupational relations, and math is
integrated into the program. Successful completion of the
first semester or instructor permission is required to continue
into the second semester and summer session.
Interested students should possess basic math skills (knowledge
of basic algebra and geometry), reading skills, and have
a keen interest in mechanics. Placement in specific English
and math courses is determined by the college assessment
test. Prospective students who do not meet the initial
eligibility requirements for a career and technical limited
enrollment program will need to take selected courses to
receive necessary skill building prior to entering the program
(see page 43 of the catalog).
