universities such as Purdue University, University of Puerto Rico, University of South Florida,and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Some of them end up working for US Corps ofEngineers national laboratories (Acosta, 2004).Involvement in Undergraduate Research Experiences (URE) is related to considerably increasedpersistence and improved academic performance of students in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) disciplines. UREs have shown to promote students’ sense of project ownership,self-effectiveness, and scientific identity. The advantages derived from URE have a very good impact onminority students and their improved STEM retention (Vater, 2019).Case Studies:Case study 1: University of Cincinnati Structural

creating an aerospace laboratory, aerospace and rocketry program, and a rocketry team. One of the first tasks given byBASE 11 was to develop a Liquid Propellant Rocket that can reach an apogee of 150,000 ft by the year 2022. Rockets are nota modern-day invention. The first rocket designs date back to the year 1232 in early China. During that time, the Chinese wereusing rockets to prevent the advancement of Mongolian troops during the Battle of Kai-Keng (Benson, 2014). The nextdocumented milestone in rocketry came in 1926, when physics professor Robert Goddard launched the first-ever liquidpropellant rocket in Worcester, Massachusetts (Neufeld, 2016). Goddard’s invention would ultimately lay the groundwork forfuture high-altitude rocket launches
