Admitted Student Event Recordings
Admitted Student Keynote
Saturday, April 4th | 9:00am (PT)
Watch the recording of our Viterbi Keynote event for Admitted Student and Families. Hosted by Paul Ledesma, Assistant Dean, our admission staff, and a panel of current students, the event covered an overview of our academic programs, the undergraduate experience, and had a well-detailed Q&A Discussion.
Student Live Chat
Monday, April 6th | 7:00pm (PT)
Get all your questions answered from real-life students in the Viterbi School. No presentation, just your questions and our students’ answers based on their experiences in class and across campus.
Demo Classes
Intro to BME 413: Bioengineering Signals and Systems
Wednesday, April 1st | 4:00pm (PT)
Join Professor Brent Liu for a demo class on Bioengineering Systems and Signals. This course will be am introduction to the basic concepts relating to linear signals and systems theory, time and frequency domain analysis, and the application of these concepts to solve problems in the Biomedical Engineering field.
Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering
Wednesday, April 8th | 3:00pm (PT)
Learn what mechanical engineers do, and what your first ME class at USC will entail. An example lesson on the strength of materials, leading to the design, analysis, and testing of a 3D-printed truss bridge will be presented.
Spacecraft Design & Systems Engineering
Thursday, April 9th | 5:00pm (PT)
Meet Dr. Jim Chase as he teaches this mock class, Spacecraft Design & Systems Engineering. This is a hands-on, team-based course where students design an end-to-end space mission—from concept to final presentation. You’ll tackle real engineering trades, cost and risk analysis, subsystem integration, and leadership challenges, learning how spacecraft actually get built in industry and at NASA.
Programming Languages Connected with Careers
Wednesday, April 15th | 4:00pm (PT)
Coding is becoming the most in-demand skill across industries. Learn about the programming languages needed for various STEM careers including artificial intelligence, data analytics, mobile app development, and web development.
Intro to Mass & Heat Balances in Chemical Engineering
Thursday, April 16th | 3:00pm (PT)
This mock lecture from Intro to CHE 120: Introduction to Mass and Heat Balances for Chemical Engineering Processes offers a preview of one of the foundational courses in the chemical engineering curriculum. Join Professor Malancha Gupta and explore fundamental concepts and how they are applied to real-world processes.
ASTROBEE on Floatbots How to Fly in Space While on the Ground
Monday, April 20th | 3:30pm (PT)
Join Professor Barnhart in a live laboratory demo of NASA’s Astrobee free flying robots on a 3DOF airbearing testbed. This class will introduce 6 Axis control free flyer for Space, show basic holonomic control in X, Y and rotation, and explore benefits and challenges to validate complex ZeroG flight systems on the ground. Class will be conducted in the Lab, mixing lecture with live video and streaming of data to allow student to visualize operations of a flight vehicle for Space. This will be a joint lecture with the Company operating Astrobee inside the ISS, and the USC SERC team that has flown a rendezvous and proximity operations payload on Astrobee.
