The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded Morgan State University $371,985 on October 1, 2026, to operate a ten-week summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on human-technology interfaces and artificial intelligence applications for digital product design through January 31, 2030. The program engages undergraduate students in hands-on research at the intersection of AI and human-computer interaction, with structured training across four integrated research themes: AI tools for qualitative data analysis, AI tools for conceptual design, AI-enhanced usability testing, and transparency and trust in AI-supported design. Participants conduct mixed-methods research—including surveys, thematic coding, usability evaluation, and interaction data analysis—to examine human-AI collaboration in design workflows. Research projects include evaluating AI-assisted qualitative analysis, generating and assessing AI-based personas and interface designs, identifying bias and gaps in AI-generated outputs, and analyzing how explainability influences trust in AI-generated recommendations. The REU site builds a nationwide cohort of undergraduate students from varied academic and institutional backgrounds, developing technical, research, and professional skills while strengthening STEM participation and contributing to the nation's innovation and technological competitiveness. Performance occurs in Baltimore, Maryland. The award is classified as a Project Grant under NSF Engineering (CFDA 47.041).
