What does it actually look like to build real engineering projects as a student? In this episode of Engineering Moment, co-hosts Stephanie and Avery sit down with USC student Mitchell Kirby, a project manager in USC Makers, to unpack what the club is all about. From designing a self-cleaning solar panel to imagining a kinetic energy sidewalk, Mitchell shares the creativity, challenges, and lessons he’s gained from hands-on engineering. We explore how Makers turns ideas into prototypes—and how student projects can shape the engineers behind them.
