biometric, measure the duration of exercise activities such asrunning or brisk walking, detected by the Garmin device [30]. Aerobic exercise research supportsthe use of intensity minutes in studying well-being. It is well-established that physical exercisepositively affects psychological well-being [31]. For instance, a study on problem-solvingconfidence found that students who exercised regularly had higher self-confidence when solvingproblems [32]. A study on self-efficacy in exercise also showed that belief in one's ability to engagein physical activity significantly predicted perceived wellness [33]. Furthermore, exercise has beenlinked to higher self-care, gratitude, and increased physical activity, showing a positive feedbackloop between

, while the remaining eleven weekswere delivered online. Two graduate students majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineeringtaught and facilitated the course. The internship started after the course and ran for 12 weeks,ending on October 31, 2024. Nine out of ten students participated in internships with one of twolocal hardware security industries.`Participants were asked to answer survey questions during the first week of coursework andagain in November, after completing their internships.

on recurrent data collection and analysis. Drawing from situatedlearning theory’s Communities of Practice (CoP) [5], our project goal is to help students’navigate their undergraduate engineering degree and build a sense of belonging and self-efficacyin engineering by creating an integrated community of post-traditional and military students inengineering. To meet these goals, our study is guided by the following theory- and design-basedresearch questions.Theory 1. In what ways does an onboarding seminar series influence participants’ navigation of their undergraduate engineering program? 2. In what ways does an onboarding seminar series influence participants’ sense of belonging and self-efficacy in engineering?Design 3
