At a smaller school, I felt like I&#8217;d be able to have more of an impact here, especially as they grew their engineering program from the ground up.

Through it all, my favorite experience has been founding and cultivating the Chapman Robotics Club, training underclassmen with no knowledge of robotics and seeing them take on projects of their own. I also should mention working with the Spot robots in the &#8220;AI For Robotics&#8221; class, especially since my experience there as a team\u00a0lead is what got me my job at SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p data-stringify-type=\"pre\"><strong>FE:\u00a0Speaking of SpaceX, can you share what you will be doing there?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-stringify-type=\"pre\"><strong>NM:<\/strong> At SpaceX, as a Software Engineer on the Vehicle team, I&#8217;ll be closely collaborating with Hardware Engineers to solve real-world problems, pulling from both my software and hardware experiences at Chapman as a Computer Engineering major.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p data-stringify-type=\"pre\"><em>Thank you, Nick for telling us about your experience as a Chapman University student studying at Fowler Engineering.
