You're invited to the MS HCDE Capstone Showcase 2025–26 at the University of Michigan–Dearborn.
This year's theme is Care — in every sense of the word. Eighteen students across 6 teams have spent two semesters designing solutions that care for what matters most: caring for patients navigating complex healthcare, caring for young adults struggling with financial wellbeing, caring for communities through transparent charitable giving, caring for our attention in a world of digital noise, and caring for the ideas we too easily forget.

Come see how human-centered design turns empathy into action.

🎓 Proud to highlight our students' exceptional participation at the 69th HFES International Annual Meeting!

From October 13-17, twelve students from University of Michigan-Dearborn's Human Factors and Ergonomics as well as Human-Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE) programs in IMSE department attended the 69th Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) International Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL. Our students delivered an impressive 6 poster presentations and 5 lecture presentations at this prestigious conference.

📋 Our Research Highlights:
Posters:
· Comparative evaluation of exoskeleton performance for bending, squatting and lean forward tasks: A case study of passive trunk exoskeleton
· A Methodological Framework for Evaluating Longitudinal Vehicle Control Features
· Beyond Detection: A Systematic Review of Driver Fatigue Prevention and Mitigation Strategies
· Driving with Empathy: Workshop Report on AI-driven In-vehicle Empathic Agent Design for Automated Vehicles
· Key Factors Influencing the Trust, Acceptance, and Use of Sustainable Automotive Technologies
· Trust in Level 3 Automated Vehicles: A Systematic Literature Review

Lecture Presentations:
· Beyond Overreliance: The Human-AI-System Concordance (HASC) Matrix and the Cognitive Dynamics of AI-Assisted Decision-Making
· Evaluating Multimodal Interfaces for Visually Impaired Users in Autonomous Ridesharing: A Usability Study
· Examining Transparency Needs and Display Features: An Empirical Study of Dynamic Dual-task HAT Simulation with AI Integration
· Exploring Dimensions of Human Likeness in Conversational AI: Implications for Human Identity Threat and Dehumanization
· Rapid Prototyping and Evaluation of Crew Station to Support Manned-Unmanned Teaming

We also showcased our department's research capabilities through a university lab poster titled "Human Factors in University of Michigan-Dearborn," featuring our Human Factors research labs and our state-of-the-art Driving Simulator facility. Program brochures were distributed to highlight our initiatives to the broader conference community.

✨ What our students gained:
· Hands-on experience with cutting-edge research in Human Factors and Ergonomics
· Direct engagement with world-class researchers and industry leaders
· Insight into the latest trends and developments in their field
· Invaluable inspiration and motivation for their academic journeys

This experience reinforces our commitment to preparing the next generation of Human Factors and HCDE professionals. We're excited to see where our students' careers take them! 🚀
