Are science/math-based clubs at colleges welcoming of newbies or highly competitive and achieving?

I'm currently a senior with a passion for science and mathematics and an eye on majoring in engineering (electronic, bio-medical, civil, mech, nuclear). I didn't accrue much project-based working experience while actively engaging in my high school clubs, so I'm worried that I might not be able to keep up with other kids who may already have a knack for focused work on a out-of-class science project.





Have you ever been in this situation? How did you cope? Were you successful?|||Science/math clubs at the college level rarely do anything at all. They're mostly something for those kids to put on their grad school applications to make it look like they have social skills. What you're thinking of is research with a professor.
