MCC-Business & Technology welding technology coordinator earns PhD



Congratulations to Dr. Tim Gill who has completed his Ph.D in Curriculum and Instruction, majoring in Practical Arts and Vocational Technical Education at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Gill's dissertation, titled “Teacher Induction Programs and Their Effectiveness on the Retention of Secondary Trade and Industrial Teachers in Missouri,” certainly connects with programming at MCC-Business & Technology.

Gill coordinates the welding program at BTC and has been the architect behind its new American Welding Society-based curriculum. In addition to his Ph.D, Tim also holds AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) and Certified Welding Educator (CWE) certifications.
