Machining Courses

U of T Engineering students (including those on PEY), researchers and faculty have access to MIE’s Machine Shop for professional services as well as use of the shop’s equipment and facilities. Courses are offered by the Faculty to provide machining and welding training:

  • Basic Machining: Machine shop safety, lathe, mill, drill press.
    • Completion of this course is required to access MIE’s Machine Shop (MC78).
    • After completing the course, visit MC78 for a brief orientation to activate your access.
    • Grades assigned by George Brown (GB) instructors may be used to request a waiver for term work in an undergraduate MIE course, for example MIE221H1, (to be verified with MIE Course Intsructors, annually). However, please note that GB grades will be normalized to align with historical grade averages in MIE courses. As a result, the equivalent grade used for the waiver may be noticeably lower than the original GB grade.
  • Introduction to Welding: Oxy-acetylene, manual arc & gas metal arc welding

Please note:

  • George Brown College does not issue certificates or transcripts for these courses, but we maintain a record of participants and their grades.
  • Registration is final, and refunds or changes in registration will not be granted.

The fall and winter schedule will be updated periodically.
