MEMPC Joint Seminars – Fall 2024

In Fall 2024, we organized the first ever MEMPC Joint Seminars Series with MEM faculty from USC, Northwestern and Duke University each leading a seminar that was open to all MEMPC students.

The MEMPC students not only got to learn from MEM faculty from other MEMPC schools, but were also able to collaborate with students from other MEMPC schools as they broke out in smaller groups to discuss the case being presented.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Mark Werwath, Dr. Xiaoyan Hu, Prof. Luis Morales & Dr. Paul Lu for leading their seminars and being willing to pilot something new as well as USC’s iPodia Platform Team and the USC Engineering Management Students Association (EMSA) for their invaluable support in working through the logistics of the seminars.

You can watch the recording of the seminars using the links below.

We look forward to continuing the Joint Seminars series in Spring ’25. Stay tuned!

Seminar 2: How Boeing Lost its Engineering Culture, led by Prof. Mark Werwath (Northwestern University).

Seminar 3: Reflections on Tesla’s Culture and Approach to Innovation, led by Dr. Xiaoyan Hu & Prof. Luis Morales (Duke University).
