George Brown College: Machining Courses Enrolment

The Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering has introduced a voluntary program by which students can gain introductory experience at metal machining and welding. Students will have the opportunity to receive hands-on training in George Brown's extensive and up-to-date machining facilities and those interested in the vast array of campus groups such as the Solar Car Team and Formula SAE will find this training invaluable. All current U of T Engineering students (undergraduate and graduate) are welcome to participate, including those on PEY.

There are three short courses available starting in January. Each course is two days long and runs on successive Saturdays. There is a fee for each course; receipts will be issued for tax purposes. The three courses in this machining and welding program are as follows:

1. Basic Machining (lathe, mill, drill press)*
   
2. Advanced Machining (pre-requisite: the Basic Machining course)*
   
3. Introduction to Welding
   

*Students who successfully complete these two courses will have access to the George Brown Machine Shop following the program for work on their academic projects.

Dates and course registration information is available online starting January 4, 2011.
