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.
