This Web-Based Steel Detailing Course has been developed for the industry by industry experts.
As a cost-effective alternative to off-site instruction, this course meets the need for a comprehensive collection of protocol information on steel detailing that is needed by the industry. The course has been designed to take a high school graduate student with no knowledge of the steel industry to an acceptable level of qualification as a junior steel detailer. Experienced detailers will find the course useful as a review of steel detailing fundamentals and mathematics.
This comprehensive course, developed by DOWCO – and endorsed by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) -- is an invaluable tool for detailing firms, fabricators, and any other firms that employ people to prepare and review structural steel shop drawings. Based on the AISC text, Detailing For Steel Construction this course will give the student the foundation and basic knowledge to become a Steel Detailer.
By focusing on the fundamentals, it’s a real back-to-school approach by forcing the student to understand the principles and methodology involved. Dependence upon intelligent 3D modeling and detailing packages is removed forcing the student to simply understand why and how.
The course is entirely web-based and self-paced and no additional software is required. Students can learn when they want and where they want. Upon completion, the graduate will receive a Certificate of Course Completion.
"I have gained knowledge that would have taken me five years to learn as a detailer without training if I had not taken this course. I now feel comfortable navigating the AISC Steel Construction Manual since my understanding of the material has doubled."
- Stacey Bell Hill, Bell Steel
