Industrial Maintenance-Millwright Technology AAS

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.

Entrance requirements for students seeking enrollment in the Industrial Maintenance-Millwright program include:

  • Aleks score in Math of 30 or higher, Writing Placement Exam of 2 or higher, or qualify for MTHPT-137 and ENGL-101.
  • Enrollment priority is on a first-come, first-served basis as determined by the student’s faculty advising date.

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

  • Identify PLC hardware; wire up PLC power, inputs and outputs
  • Read and write basic ladder logic programs
  • Know the theory of DC and AC motors
