(B.S. ’72) Retired Engineer
Terry Mancilla has retired from a 33-year career as an engineer at Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Technologies.
He is a former assistant professor of engineering at Cal Poly Maritime Academy, and taught engineering at SF State. He has served on the SFSU Engineering Advisory Board and has chosen to make the College of Science and Engineering a beneficiary of a generous portion of his estate.
“I chose to leave a legacy to SF State because it was a good way to offer today's students the support I believe they deserve,” he said in a 2022 SFSU Donor Spotlight profile. He hopes that his gift will go in part to assist “working students as a way to alleviate some of their burdens and allow them to focus on studying.”
