Instructor writes own text Clackamas Community College's book store has many new textbooks for fall classes including Dave Madsen's new drafting book entitled "Basic Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing." Madsen is a drafting instructor and depart mentchairperson at CCC. He researched and wrote the book in one year and tested it for six months. He tested the work packet for two terms on CCC drafting students before sending it to the publishers. His reason for writing the book is simple. "There was not enough information and text books on geometric dimensioning^ since it is a fairly new field in industry," said Madsen. Madsen feels the book is individualized and flexible for the students. CCC will be using the book this term in advanced drafting classes. Madsen hopes other colleges, univer sities and industries will also use the book. Madsen graduated from Oregon State University in 1970 and began teaching at CCC in 1972. Not only does he teach draft ing, but he also designs houses for friends and builders. He and his wife, Judy, and son, Mike, are currently building their own home in Beavercreek in which they hope will be completed by September.
