Electrical Engineering and Computer Science<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> student Olivia Chilvers, her time at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/engineering\/index.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fowler School of Engineering<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (FSE) prepared her for a full-time role as a Multidisciplinary Engineer with the Boeing Company before starting her senior year. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Conceptualizing Dreams into Reality<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chilvers has been surrounded by engineering and aerospace since she was a child. She watched her father leave and return from his shifts at Boeing and was told plenty of stories about her grandfather\u2019s time working at McDonell Douglas, currently known as Boeing. She became immersed in aerospace engineering through her family while simultaneously hoping to one day join them working at Boeing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAerospace has always been in my family, and I traveled a lot as a kid, so I\u2019ve always been obsessed with airplanes,\u201d said Chilvers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18969\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18969\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2023\/12\/olivia-chilvers-small-image.jpg\" alt=\"A young engineering students is posing for a selfie with her father on the left-hand side.

I kind of took this like, \u2018I\u2019m going to do computer science to prove to people wrong.\u2019 I also fell in love with it,\u201d shared Chilvers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While in pursuit of challenging the status quo, Chilvers chose Chapman for its exceptional computer science program and contributed to the opening of the Swenson Family Hall of Engineering in 2021. Chilvers had the opportunity to set up circuit boards and 3D printers alongside engineering faculty and TestEquity and Keysight Technologies representatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18974\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18974\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18974\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2023\/12\/olivia-chilvers-small-image2.jpg\" alt=\"Two students standing next to Chapman University's mascot, Pete the Panther. \" width=\"580\" height=\"321\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18974\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chilvers helped set up a massive amount of electronic equipment in Swenson Hall&#8217;s second-floor electronic labs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Experiential Learning Sets Engineering Students for Success in Career<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From her early days at Chapman, Chilvers became familiar with Python, a programming language she uses in her role with Boeing. \u201cOnce I worked at Boeing, I could see the intersection, and I have a lot of appreciation for the classes I have taken.\u201d Chilvers\u2019 experience working with programs like Python and JavaScript and taking courses such as human-centered design from her first year at Chapman gave her the confidence to tackle her day-to-day tasks as a multidisciplinary engineer for Boeing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEverything on that track of Python, JavaScript, and data structures, those classes teach you how to make programs and give you the independence to run it because I do almost everything entirely independently,\u201d said Chilvers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/engineering\/about\/faculty\/program-faculty\/tom-springer.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tom Springer, Ph.D.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, assistant professor at Fowler School of Engineering, has 22 years of experience working for the Boeing Company and believes Chilvers\u2019 engagement in the classroom greatly contributed to her being a stellar team player in her career. \u201cIn addition to being diligent in her work assignments, she was always willing to help and collaborate with other students. These are qualities that would make her a great teammate and co-worker,\u201d shared Springer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Balancing Academic Courseload and On-The-Job Duties with Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a current undergraduate student, Chilvers works three days a week at Boeing, maintaining different metrics, building an internal website, and providing customer support. In the other four days, Chilvers attends her classes, studies, and cultivates her community at the Fowler School of Engineering. Although her career path has suddenly evolved, Chilvers wants the rest of her time at Chapman to be memorable, \u201cI\u2019m still trying to cherish the moments at Chapman. So, I\u2019m excited that I have an extra year with the master\u2019s program, \u201d explained Chilvers.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18972\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18972\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18972\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2023\/12\/olivia-chilvers-small-image3.jpg\" alt=\"A group of students, faculty, and staff pose for a group photo.\" width=\"580\" height=\"321\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Although Chilvers is a full-time student and part-time engineer, she cherishes the remaining time she has left with the Fowler Engineering community.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chilvers treasures her time being involved in the Chapman Engineering community and has become part of the first cohort for the M.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science program. As a student juggling so much, Chilvers has felt her integrated coursework and job with Boeing have all seamlessly aligned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSo, it also worked out well because Boeing has a learning together program. So, if you work for them as long as it\u2019s part-time, they\u2019ll pay for your schooling. So, they\u2019re helping me support my last year of my bachelors and as I finish my masters,\u201d said Chilvers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Without hesitation, Chilvers took on each new challenge, feeling well supported by the faculty and staff at FSE. \u201cI am very very grateful to have support from Boeing and the Fowler School of Engineering, and it\u2019s just been so great to see how they intertwine together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Within a few months, Olivia Chilvers started an internship with the world\u2019s largest aerospace company, Boeing. With great determination and applicable skills from her engineering courses, Chilvers turned her summer internship into a part-time position. She is on track to obtain a full-time position once she graduates with her bachelor\u2019s in computer science in May 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time Position with the World\u2019s Largest Aerospace Company &#8211; \\&#8221;Once I worked at Boeing, I could see the
