Industrial Mechanical Technology (Millwright)

INDUSTRIAL MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY (MILLWRIGHT) -
2 YEAR DIPLOMA
Students learn safety, measurements, troubleshooting, repair procedures and the use of hand and power tools. The program also covers hydraulics, pneumatics, lubrication systems, heating systems, cooling systems and welding. This knowledge is put to use in the repair of actual plant and pit equipment such as cranes, shovels, mining drills, graders, backhoes and other field equipment.

Helpful background - All applicants are expected to have high school diplomas or GEDs. Courses in industrial arts, math, science and mechanical drawing are very helpful. Hard toed boots, hard hats (helmets), and safety glasses will be required.

Employment Opportunities - Job placement for Industrial Mechanical Technology students has traditionally been very high, as industry cannot afford to be shut down for too long. Qualified mechanics/millwrights find work repairing both plant and weld equipment. A demand exists for mechanics/millwrights in a variety of manufacturing and processing facilities such as hardboard plants, paper companies, food processing plants, and mining companies. Graduates have also found employment with heavy equipment dealers, contractors, rail maintenance crews, and in specialty areas involving hydraulics, parts distribution, solar energy, logging, cooling, and heating.
