From designing Navy welding curriculum to embracing a Universal Design for Learning as a Goodwin welding instructor, professor and PhD candidate, Keith Carter, MHR, MSW shares his journey to becoming an expert in his field.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Keith Carter\u2019s welding students didn\u2019t want to break for the day after their morning class let out. A typical reaction to Carter\u2019s classes, and something that the welding instructor says he works to cultivate after his experience in welding school back in 1989.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the most tedious school,\u201d Carter said of his time in the US Navy\u2019s nuclear power welding school. \u201cI said, \u2018Knock on wood, I would never do a program like that again.\u201d<\/p>\n

True to his word, Carter\u2014Assistant Professor of Welding at Goodwin College\u2014never did, and he now has the eager students begging to work through lunch to prove it. \u201cThat\u2019s the type of environment we want,\u201d Carter said. \u201cWhere our students are learning, and they love<\/em> to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the Shipyard to the Navy
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now helping design one of the strongest welding education programs<\/a> in the northeast, Carter\u2019s career began as a welder\u2019s helper in a shipyard in the 1980\u2019s right out of high school. \u201cThe welders there said I was too young to be a welder\u2019s helper. I should join the military,\u201d Carter said.<\/p>\n

During a discussion with his mother about his future, the US Army\u2019s \u201cBe All You Can Be\u201d commercial drew his attention. He decided at that moment to join up to meet his full potential. Coincidentally, Carter said, a Navy recruiter called his home that very same day. He met with the recruiter that afternoon and signed up to join the US Navy.<\/p>\n

He served aboard a ship as a hull maintenance technician (HT), learning the basics on the job of how to weld. After his first tour, he got ready to reenlist only to be approached by his mentor, the ship\u2019s Master Chief who told young man he was heading to nuclear power welding school. The Master Chief told the career counselor that he needed to have Carter in welding school the next day. So in 1988, Keith Carter found himself deployed to nuclear power welding school in San Diego, California.<\/p>\n

That class\u2014the one Carter would later refer to as \u201cthe most tedious school\u201d\u2014started with 17 people, and ended with three graduates. Afterwards, with no immediate orders, he worried about keeping that certification in the Navy. \u201cEverybody was walking around with orders, but I didn\u2019t get orders,\u201d Carter said. \u201cI was worried.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every day, he would walk in to the office to see if he had gotten his orders yet. Eventually, he was brought in and told that he needed to sit for an interview with the Master Chief and the department head. Carter was told he was being sent back to school, only this time it was to teach. \u201cI graduated weld school and then got sent to teach right away. That\u2019s something that happened once, and probably never happened again in the Navy,\u201d Carter joked.<\/p>\n

Designing the Navy\u2019s Welding Curriculum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carter found himself at the submarine school in Groton, just as they were moving into their new facilities. \u201cThey were moving into their new building, their new facilities,\u201d Carter said. \u201cThey were redoing the entire weld program, including a brand new lab.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a new instructor, Carter helped set up the Navy\u2019s lab, restructure the program, and rewrite the curriculum. \u201cI got a few awards for writing tests, writing curriculum,\u201d Carter said.<\/p>\n

While he was in Groton, he furthered his skill set by earning master training specialist. After helping get the new program off the ground, Carter returned to the fleet to do course design for quality assurance and run production for weld shops. After 4-5 years of being out of the Groton school house, he returned to again redesign the Navy\u2019s weld courses.<\/p>\n

As lead instructor for the Navy\u2019s weld courses in Groton, he worked with alongside instructors in King\u2019s Bay Georgia to design the best curriculum possible. \u201cA young man I actually mentored when he first came into the Navy was lead instructor in King\u2019s Bay,\u201d Carters said. \u201cSo together we basically synchronized the courses, and we did a lot of restructuring. And we actually got an award for rewriting the test for those courses during that time period.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under his lead, Carter led a group of people to 100% master training specialist before returning to Guam to run manufacturing shops, including powder coating, sheet metal, and pipe welding. Eventually, he returned to Groton for the last time to teach leadership.<\/p>\n

Bringing Welding Expertise to Goodwin College<\/strong><\/p>\n

After his naval career, Carter began working on earning his PhD. During a conversation about becoming a professor with his family, Carter\u2019s daughter told him he needed to do what he loved: welding.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day she came in my office and said, \u2018Dad, I\u2019ve got an idea,\u2019\u201d Carter said. \u201c\u2018Go back to your roots. Go back to welding and teach welding. You like working outside. You like doing things in your workshop. You should teach welding.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Serendipity was once again on Carter\u2019s side, as with the naval recruitment phone call of his youth; just a few days talking to his daughter, Goodwin College posted a job opening for a welding instructor position. And Carter was the perfect fit for Goodwin\u2019s career-focused, student-oriented atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now I\u2019m focusing on building one of the strongest [welding] programs in this area,\u201d Carter said. Along with his fellow welding instructor Jason Sagaci, the two have created a unique course that drives students to success by combining two types of welding: sculpture with a welding background, and navy nuclear welding with a process background.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe bring together two unique styles of welding that students probably won\u2019t get at another weld school,\u201d Carter said.<\/p>\n

The program is designed to engage students, excite them, and give them the skills that they need to succeed in the field. Through Universal Design for Learning<\/a>, Carter said he has developed skills to engage every kind of student learner.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that fact that we have UDL here, because not everybody is a lecturer type of learner or just a standard learner,\u201d Carter said. \u201cThere are other ways of teaching, and I like the fact that [Goodwin] embraces Universal Design for Learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carter wants to make sure that his first experience in welding school<\/a> isn\u2019t the experience his students have. \u201cWhen I went to weld school, I think that was the most stressful thing ever,\u201d Carter said. \u201cHere, we make it so students can enjoy what they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want our students to focus on the good of why<\/em> they are learning,\u201d Carter said. \u201cAnybody can weld. But when you teach welding for success, you\u2019re teaching a different type of welding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
