Recommended Course Sequence - Basic and Advanced Certificates in Machine Technology: Millwright

A machinist produces precision metal parts and a millwright or industrial mechanic maintains and installs machinery and heavy equipment used in many industries. These skilled professionals typically work in machine shops, manufacturing facilities and at construction sites.
 
Brazosport College’s classes offer hands-on training - taught by experienced faculty. An added benefit is the co-op classes that provide valuable on-the job training while you earn a paycheck.  Machinist jobs can range from making small parts for car engines to creating gigantic parts for airplanes. They also monitor equipment, replace worn out parts, check the accuracy of parts being produced, and perform maintenance work - repairing or making new parts for existing machinery. Technological advances have brought in machines that cut with lasers, water jets and electrified wires.

Students will earn the Basic Certificate upon completion of the first five courses, and the Advanced Certificate upon completion of this sequence.
