(RED OAK) \u2013 Sergio Gutierrez, 20, is a Computer Aided Drafting and Design Technology major at Texas State Technical College in North Texas. He is TSTC\u2019s first Student Government Association president and is scheduled to graduate in August.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is a 2015 graduate of Red Oak High School, where he played soccer and was a member of Hawks Against Destructive Decisions Inspiring Teens (HADDIT).<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you learn about TSTC?<\/b> \u201cIt was during a tour. I was taking drafting at the high school and I saw the program here and decided to take it. The campus is really convenient and I like it a lot. I don\u2019t have to be away from my family.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you enjoy about Computer Aided Drafting and Design Technology?<\/b> \u201cI like the 3-D modeling. I have gotten good at it. I like to make costume parts, and in architecture you can make houses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you get to use the program\u2019s 3-D printers?<\/b> \u201cIt\u2019s really fantastic. We have three and they are pretty cool. I can make the costume parts and print them out and use them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What have you done in the Student Government Association?<\/b> \u201cRight now I\u2019m the only member. Student involvement is a big factor. SGA helped start clubs for Diesel Equipment Technology and Welding. I hope SGA continues after I graduate. Being the first sets the standard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What kind of work experience are you getting while in college?<\/b> \u201cI am doing an internship at my uncle\u2019s cabinet shop. I am making drawings in AutoCAD and they look good. I have learned a lot to get out in the field.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Registration for fall semester is taking place now, with two special Registration Rally events planned from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on July 13 and Aug. 8 at TSTC in North Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n
