During Fall 2023, the CBTF also administered a recordnumber of exams, recording over 90,000 reservations. The ability to support the growing numberof students and courses utilizing the CBTF is made possible through operating three dedicatedtesting facilities that offer testing sessions ten hours each day, seven days a week. We project thatthe utilization of our labs will continue to grow as we bring a fourth testing facility online inSpring 2024 in partnership with the College of

Additionally, theIndigenous Peoples even though they are oral cultures, they also have what Western Europeanculture calls “trade secrets” or proprietary information. This proprietary knowledge is onlyshared with those designated within the Tribe to know the information. Part of the challengefacing all storage and retrieval sources is to have a way to index proprietary information withpublic terms to make it discoverable and available to those allowed to know.Currently, with efforts to revive ancient knowledge, it is helpful to find what we know has beenwritten about the specific engineering projects of the past.

As such, it is important tounderstand what drew people from these groups into the field. Research provides some sense ofhow to achieve this. For example, studies have shown that students who are women and/or fromunderrepresented ethnoracialized groups have positive experiences and increases in confidenceand interest in data-related fields and in research as a result of taking statistics courses that arebased on projects that
