Engineering Moment is a short chat about engineering, but the name means more than that. In physics, moment equals force times distance--it's a force multiplier. It's a way of leveraging your power for greater results. We believe engineering students are force multipliers in the world, and this podcast features their voices discussing topics related to engineering and society.
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.
