Introduction

My name is Jeffrey Muhammad. I am entrusted with serving as the Department Chair for three departments at Austin Community College. I have been teaching at ACC since 2004. During my first four years, I served as Adjunct Faculty. I have been Full-Time Faculty since 2008 to present. I also serve as the the Faculty Coordinator and Advisor for the Civil CAD specialization. 

I am a proud alum of the Architectural & Engineering CAD Department. I've been using CAD software since 1990; where my journey started as a student, to becoming a professional civil designer in the industry and ultimately a Professor in higher education.
