Carter Stanfield was program director of the Air Conditioning Technology Department at Athens Technical College, where he taught full time from 1976 until his retirement in 2016. He currently teaches part time there. His industry credentials include both an RSES CMS and NATE certification and a State of Georgia Unrestricted Conditioned Air Contracting license. He graduated from the University of Georgia magna cum laude in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science degree in education. Mr. Stanfield believes that successful educational programs are focused on what the students do. Students start with a strong background in fundamental concepts and theory and then actively apply them to solve real problems. Practice and active application are the keys to students building both confidence and competence. For teaching tips and more, see his HVACR blog.
