students.Through this workshop, we developed a community of LaTeX practitioners in our university.LaTeX is a typesetting tool that is widely used to write research papers, theses, anddissertations.In our home department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), we’ve often experienceda student climate that is less than helpful and borderline dismissive of new learners acquiringconcepts and tools that are indirectly related to classes. Specifically, our perception of the ECEenvironment is that it views LaTeX as a tool that should have been learned implicitly throughoutour education. Through the creation of our workshop, we sought to counter this dismissiveclimate and bring implicit concepts to the forefront, aiding in the creation of a more

coursework; 3. Pass Qualifying Exam; 4. Pass Competency/Preliminary Exam; 5. Write Dissertation; and 6. Defend.These are very common elements across most PhD programs as reflected by their presence on most, if notall, of the group maps. These are elements that you would likely find in a graduate school manual for thesteps to completing a PhD and are typically the elements that require the completion of some sort ofpaperwork with the institution to verify that they have been completed. However, there are other implicitelements that are not as directly seen in a manual that are required to meet these steps. For example,choosing an advisor was only explicitly placed on one of the participant group (Group 4) maps. Theadvisor was included as
