Tony Lewis

“I’m working toward an associate degree in Electronics/Computer Technology. I first decided to take the new Mechatronics course because [former program coordinator] Chuck Dale suggested that it would be a good course for my degree plan. I like the hands-on aspect — I really like getting my hands dirty and working with the gears and motors. 

“As a kid, I loved building models, and this is a little like that — taking things apart and putting them back together. I will be the first person in my immediate family to graduate from college, and I’d love to get a job working in electronics. 

 “What really interests me is seeing all the different parts to everything — how it goes together and works, what it’s used for. I still like taking things apart and seeing how they work.” T

ony Lewis graduated in 2002 from Skyline High School, where he was a dual credit student at the colleges of DCCCD. He found his current position with the help of Electronics program coordinator and mechatronics instructor Chuck Dale.

“Some people in non-STEM majors reject the idea of being in a STEM organization because they feel they aren’t smart enough or talented enough. I’m not the smartest or most talented person in the room, but I’m curious, and that’s more than enough. Don't let your own sense of limitation stop you.”

“Now that I look at it, it was the best decision I ever made. The teachers realized I had a lot of passion for it, and they taught me to understand how things work.”

Cristian Castillo

Dallas College student Bachelor’s Degree of Applied Technology
“After being homeschooled and graduating high school with dual credit prerequisites already done, I went straight into the workforce, no intention of getting a degree. I worked in a warehouse for about a year and thought about going into welding, but I injured my back. ... At that point I decided to go for my associate degree, which I accomplished, and now I’m working to get my bachelor’s degree of applied technology in software development this fall. I love that I can do it 100% online because I also take care of my family every day.”
