Overview
This four-semester diploma at Humber Polytechnic's Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology, delivered at the North campus on a block-based schedule, builds on the college's Mechanical Techniques – Millwright certificate with a closer look at mechanical systems, industrial automation and modern manufacturing tech. Courses include Engineering Drawings, CAD Data and Layout Process, Metallurgy, Electric and Electronic Controls, CNC Turning, Applied Trade Calculations, Power Transmission and Workshop Practices, aligned with Ontario trade and industry standards. The program concludes with a capstone project in which students apply engineering principles and technical problem-solving to industrial challenges. Instruction is delivered by industry-experienced faculty with an emphasis on precision, systems integration and technologies used in modern manufacturing. It suits students pursuing millwright or mechanical-technician careers who want diploma-level training beyond the foundational certificate.
