CCCTC Architectural Drafting
Instructor: Mr. Brad Dixon
bdixon@ccctc.org
The professions of architecture, engineering, and drafting are not professions that stand still over time. They are changing with each passing day. The Architectural Drafting and Design program is dedicated to providing the students not only with the tools that they need for today, but also with the tools they need to be successful in the future. Students are encouraged to take a more active role in their education and their professional development. Instead of telling the students the answers,
the instructor shows them where and how to find the answers. He encourages the students to learn by doing research, looking at examples, communicating with professionals, and practice.
