MW-01 Orientation and Safety
Students will identify and learn how to safely use the hand, power and precision tools of the Millwright trade. The value of the OSHA safety standards in regard to work in the shop and the field environments will be incorporated in this training. In addition to these important basics, the fundamental Millwright math and blueprint skills will also be covered in this class.

MW-02 Blueprints and Layout
Students will learn the importance of working drawings and the relationship between verbal, pictorial and legal aspects of a project. Machinery installation techniques will include math, tools and procedures needed to perform shop and field layout tasks. The acetylene torch as a cutting tool used in machinery installation will be introduced.

MW-03 Optical Instruments
This course is designed to instruct the students in the identification, selection and basic use of optical instruments. The students’ ability to read and interpret blueprints is developed and incorporated into the setting of equipment with optical instruments. An emphasis is placed on rigging equipment, safety and skills used in installation techniques, as the students will participate in the UBC Rigging Qualification course.

MW-04 Drive Systems and Shaft Alignment
The focus of training will be drive systems and alignment. Proper shaft and component alignment of machinery, equipment and manufacturing systems are covered. The students will identify proper alignment procedures and analyze how improper installation affects the maintenance and life span of equipment and systems.

MW-05 Pumps and Machine Base Fabrication
This class will cover various machinery components found in the Petrol-Chemical Industry. Included will be pumps, valves, gaskets, seals and fans. Metal fabrication and welding techniques will be introduced in this class as a supplemental skill to installation of pumps and other components.

MW-06 Pneumatic Systems and Maintenance
This course will cover pneumatic systems, air compressors and installation practices. Incorporated into the class will be vibration detection and analysis. Machine shop practices will provide supplemental skills needed in the maintenance of machinery and equipment.

MW-07 Turbines and Generators
Students will learn the installation skills and techniques used in power production industry for various turbines and generators. This course will incorporate blueprint reading skills, rigging tasks and machinery installation and alignment with optical instruments to complete hands on disassembly-assembly of a Frame 5 G.E. Gas Turbine.

MW-08 System Design and Fabrication
This course is designed to challenge the students to use their knowledge of machine technology, math, blueprint, layout, tool knowledge and problem solving skills. Each student will develop a project concept designed to solve a given hypothetical set of criteria. They will have to design, calculate, fabricate, install and demonstrate the project. To be successful, the obstacles must be eliminated and a working proto-type must be presented.
