Course Overview
MILL 1505 is the first of two courses offered in industrial hydraulics. Upon successful completion of Hydraulics 1 (MILL 1505) and Hydraulics 2 (MILL 1506) students will receive a Statement of Completion in Hydraulics. MILL 1505 provides basic fluid power theory; the description and application of hydraulic components, and basic circuit design. During the course students are required to design a basic circuit of their own design. They are also required to design and assemble several circuits to perform basic jobs often found in industry. Steel-toed safety boots are required for this course.
