Industrial Maintenance-Millwright Technology prepares students for work in industrial mills. This is a multi-skilled trade that uses areas of fabrication, electronics, electrical systems, automation, computers, hydraulics, PLC's, and mechanical systems. Conveyor systems, power distribution, and service to all sorts of automated equipment are taught. Rigging, mechanical drive systems, installation and alignment of equipment, and pumps are taught. The Millwright program is designed to prepare graduates for entry-level employment as apprentice-technicians, with emphasis on practical experience in both theory and laboratory settings using lab equipment and assemblies similar to equipment found in industry.

Training begins in the classroom and continues in the shop area. Students complete all lab assignments in accordance with industry standards, using the tools and equipment of the profession with an emphasis on safety and quality. Refer to the Technical & Industrial website for a tool list.

Upon completion of the Industrial Maintenance-Millwright program, students should be able to:

•Effectively weld and fabricate with all common weld procedures including SMAW, GMAW, GTAW.
•Understand trade skills to include blueprint reading, construction documents, hand tools, fasteners/ anchors, construction equipment, safety, resume building, teamwork, leadership and trade accounting.
•Be familiar with principles of electricity and how to work safely with electrical devices.
•Know the theory of DC and AC motors.
•Perform rough and precision motor alignment.
•Understand with mechanical systems. These include bearings, couplings, motors, pumps, heat exchangers, compressors and methods for the transmission of power
