andunderstanding of engineering concepts [18, 19]. Furthermore, it helps build a more meaningfulrelationship with faculty. Between 2015-2019, Dong et al. [20] conducted a study on the impactof CPP students’ research on graduation rates. They found that the odds of graduating for studentswho participated in research-related activities were almost twice those of students who did notparticipate in research-related activities.In the CURE project, URE serves as a bridge between Statics and Mechanics of Materials. Studentsparticipate in research while concurrently enrolled in Mechanics of Materials, engaging in taskssuch as designing experiments, analyzing data, and presenting findings under the guidance offaculty and peer mentors.
