Sculpture : Machine + welding, U of T

Machining courses

U of T Engineering offers a voluntary program by which students (undergraduate and graduate) in any engineering discipline can gain introductory experience at metal machining and welding. Students will have the opportunity to receive hands-on training in George Brown College's extensive and up-to-date machining facilities. Engineers with a firm understanding of machining principals and limitations can design systems for quick and easy manufacture. Further, students interested in the vast array of campus groups such as the Solar Car Team and Formula SAE will find this training invaluable.
There are three short courses available; each course is two days long and runs on weekends:

• Basic Machining (lathe, mill, drill press)
• Advanced Machining (pre-requisite: the Basic Machining course)
• Introduction to Welding

Use the links below or visit the MIE events page to register for an upcoming section. Fees ($250 for basic or advanced and $300 for welding) are payable directly upon registration by credit card. Receipts will be issued for tax purposes.
