trauma-informed frameworks of care in their approach to supporting graduate students?Preliminary Results from Phase 1Initial plans for Phase 1 were based on a sequential mixed-methods design, starting withcollecting data from a nationally representative sample of engineering GPDs and following withsemi-structured interviews of a subset of engineering GPDs selected as a result of their surveyresponses. To that end, we began adapting the Supporting Graduate Student Mental Health andWell-Being Survey instrument [1] to focus on both institutional and program-specific resources.In addition, we planned to augment the survey with open-ended questions about GPD roles andresponsibilities and how integrating frameworks of care could occur across

The event was such a success that there are plans for a second A+E Day forME in the spring of 2024 semester. The “day” consisted of a three-hour lab block split into two90-minute sections that hosted 65 students across five modules – glassblowing, welding,blacksmithing (forging), casting, and glazing. The overarching theme of the kinesthetic moduleswas thermodynamics in materials processing, and the students all received a lecture on the subjectprior to attending lab.

complex topics having moreintrinsic load, such as engineering topics requiring a foundation in science and mathematicsbefore they can be comprehended. In addition to this, however, lessons often have extra or“extraneous” load, which refers to the cognitive load a student takes on to organize new andunfamiliar knowledge. Thus, an ideal lesson plan would limit extraneous load as much aspossible by organizing and dividing its material. Knowledge that has been learned in anorganized fashion is also easier for the student to recall later, as it is more interconnected withother information (11). Physical models can help reduce the extraneous load of having tovisualize phenomena from a text description or two-dimensional illustration. Currently

Pioneering research by Light (Light, 2004) has also shown that the amount ofwriting in a course is more strongly linked to increased student engagement than any othercourse characteristic. So apart from the obvious practical importance that engineers should beable to write well, there is also substantial learning that takes place through the process ofthinking and planning that is required for good writing.

Therefore, the system size was scaled biggerfor the newly-identified location.

Students spenttime and effort to search for a suitable system for the roof size and researched regulations for thesite. Unfortunately, due to concerns for the
