Hashem Mishal using an angle grinder to cut a drill bit, in the SAE team’s garage at SF State on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2024. “We don't get anything from the school other than this workshop,” Mishal said. “Our advisor, he runs the shop, and he also works with us to try and get as [many] opportunities as possible.
