Print Reading and Sketching
Students will interpret engineering drawings and sketches and
make decisions pertaining to the manufacture, installation,
positioning, and/or maintenance of machines or machine
components. They will make standardized sketches of machine
shop drawings, machine installation drawings, assembly drawings,
and detailed engineering drawings. Students will communicate
technical information as to the size, shape, construction, and
installation details of parts, mechanisms or machines..
Students will use a variety of measuring tools and measuring
techniques appropriate and necessary to make non-precision and
precision measurements in either inch or metric standard. They
will complete assignments that challenge them to make informed
decisions on selection, use, concepts and procedures used with
each tool or combination of tools taught. Students will develop an
understanding of the need for consistency and accuracy based on
equipment use. They will make sketches that use detailed methods
of reporting.
Students will perform two distinctly different types of layouts;
shop layout and machine foundation layout. In shop layout, the
student will develop strategy from a blueprint or sketch, then
layout the shapes of objects (parts) for manufacturer. In machine
foundation layout, the student details all aspects of machine
foundations, including identifying types of bases, methods of
anchoring, setting, and leveling bases to correct elevations. They
will identify, select, and use the appropriate layout tools to produce
machine foundation layouts to the desired accuracy required for
setting industrial machines.
Students will develop basic hand skills that are the foundation for
becoming a millwright (industrial mechanic) craftsperson. They
will complete shop projects that involve bench work to practice
hand skills using metal cutting tools, holding tools, striking tools,
and assembling tools. Students will work in the tool crib selecting
tools required by their peers to complete designated shop projects.
They will develop knowledge and skill in tool identification, tool
selection, and tool maintenance.
Students will use a variety of welding processes, welding equipment
and other metal working tools appropriate and necessary for the
task of joining metals. They will learn and practise procedures,
terminology and appropriate safety precautions, as applied to oxy-
acetylene use and shielded metal arc welding processes.
Students will develop the basic oral and written communications
skills needed to complete their trades courses and to function
efficiently on the job site. They will practise and develop skills in
active listening and speaking and learn correct presentation for
classroom and work related writing. Students will also develop skill
in technical reading.
Prerequisites: Vocational Placement test
MWIN 1146 cr-2
Mathematics I for Millwright
Students will learn to use percentages, equations, formulas,
geometry, measurements, and right angle trigonometry in the
context of the scientific principles and applications found in the
millwright/machinist trade. They will be prepared to the National
Occupational Analysis standard.
Students will study principles of friction, lubrication theory, and
the function of lubricating products. They will dismantle, inspect,
assemble, and test mechanical lubrication systems for maintenance
then complete maintenance reports.
Students will develop and practice the skills required to safely use a
large selection of power hand tools used in industrial applications.
They will use tools such as electric power tools, pneumatic tools,
honing tools, chain saws. Students will plan and develop strategies
to complete projects and create written maintenance reports on
pieces of equipment or procedures for tool use. They will be
certified in the use of selected Hilti powder actuated (explosive)
tools.
Students practice and develop the skills to tie knots, bends and
hitches for specific rigging applications. They will select ropes,
slings, hoists, attachments, and other rigging equipment to safely
lift and move heavy objects. Students demonstrate their knowledge
of Provincial Occupational Health and Safety Regulations
pertaining to rigging through practical competencies and written
tests.
Students will operate standard machine tools like the metal-cutting
saws, drilling machines, bench grinders and surface grinders. They
will learn machining fundamentals and common methods of
machining and shaping parts to meet given specifications. The
student will practice common machining techniques to accurately
produce shapes of various types on these machine tools. They will
use reasoning and problem solving skills to interpret print
information, plan machine tool operations and demonstrate safely
awareness when using the machine tools.
Students will master the skills and related knowledge necessary to
operate engine lathes and milling machines. They will practise
fundamental machining techniques used to make precision parts.
Students will interpret print information, plan machine tool
operations, and select the necessary tooling to set up and safely run
these machine tools.
Students will identify and use a wide variety of fasteners to
complete assignments that require them to differentiate between
thread systems. They will use drawings, parts catalogues and
service manuals to locate technical information on fasteners.
Students will select the necessary and appropriate hand tools to
make bolted and screwed connections and ensure that parts are
assembled to specifications.
Students will learn fluid power theory, terms, and basic hydraulic
system design attending lectures and working in small groups. They
will use computer simulation software and hydraulic training panels
to construct and trouble-shoot circuits and examine how system
components interact. In the shop students will inspect and
reassemble selected hydraulic components.
Students will learn gas theory and pneumatic circuit design
methodologies attending lectures and working in small groups.
They will use computer simulation software and pneumatic
training panels to examine the functions of components, and to
design, construct, and trouble-shoot circuits. In the shop, students
will examine distribution systems, conduct routine compressor
inspections, and dismantle, inspect and reassemble reciprocating
compressors.
Students will further develop their oral and written
communications skills as need to complete their trades courses and
to function efficiently on the job site. They will expand their oral
communications skills by looking at job-related conflict resolution
and their writing skills by learning specific task-related skills.
Students will work in small discussion groups to examine and
differentiate the properties of metals, interpret heat-treatment
terms, and learn the requirements for different metal heat-
treatments. They will learn the basics of different metal
manufacturing processes. In the shop, students will experiment
with identifying different properties of metals and non-metals,
with conducting heat-treatments, and with destructive and non-
destructive tests on metal samples.
Students will use a variety of techniques to disassemble, inspect,
evaluate, repair, reassemble, and align machines and their
components. They will select the necessary and appropriate hand
tools and heating equipment that enable them to practise fitting
techniques used in the assembly of individual mating components
that machines are made of.
Students will select the necessary and appropriate hand tools and
heating equipment to enable them to work on various types of
bearings and seals. They will practise fitting techniques used in the
assembly and disassembly of bearings and will learn to correctly
manipulate and assemble the different types of seals.
Students in classroom lectures and discussions will explore power
transmission fundamentals and solve mathematical and mechanical
problems relevant to the power transmission industry. They will
work in the shop to practise the fitting and mechanical skills
required to disassemble, inspect, analyze, repair and make written
