The '''Center for Advanced Engineering Environments''' (CAEE) is a research center within the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology at [[Old Dominion University]]. Established in 2001, CAEE focuses on various research areas including collaborative distributed knowledge discovery, interactive visual simulations, intelligent synthesis, and the development of advanced learning and training technologies. The center's research aims to enhance the application of these technologies in complex engineering systems of the future.[[Image:Touchlight.jpg|right|thumb|The [[Eon Reality|EON Reality]] [[Touchlight]] system shows a 3D model of a jet engine.]]

The activities of the center include the [[Synergy|synergistic]] [[coupling]] of modeling, [[Augmented reality|visual simulations]], [[intelligent agent]]s, multimedia and [[synthetic environment]]s, human-technology interactions, [[computational intelligence]], computational, information, and collaboration technologies in the multidisciplinary analysis, sensitivity studies, optimization, design, and operation of complex engineering systems.

The Center is located at the Old Dominion University Peninsula Higher Education Center in [[Hampton, Virginia]]. It is located very close to NASA's [[Langley Research Center]].<ref>{{cite web |title=CAEE: A New Era of Learning |url=https://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/news/researchernews/rn_caee.html |website=Researcher News |publisher=NASA |access-date=26 March 2021}}</ref>

==Objectives==
The Center has the following five specific objectives:

# Conduct innovative research on applications of the aforementioned areas to complex engineering systems.
# Develop innovative paradigms, technologies, and strategies for Advanced Learning/Training Environments.
# Act as a pathfinder, by demonstrating to the research community what can be done (high-potential, high-risk research).<ref>{{cite journal|last=Sniderman|first=Debbie|title=Moving into "Intelligent Engineering"|journal=Desktop Engineering|date=May 2012|url=http://www.deskeng.com/articles/aabezr.htm|access-date=2012-07-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120711234722/http://www.deskeng.com/articles/aabezr.htm|archive-date=2012-07-11|url-status=dead}}</ref>
# Help in identifying future directions of research, and future interdisciplinary areas, in support of future complex engineering systems.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Noor|first=Ahmed|title=Training for the Next Wave - Preparing engineers and the workforce for Complex Adaptive Systems|journal=Mechanical Engineering|date=March 2012|pages=34–37|doi=10.1115/1.2012-MAR-2 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
# Form strategic partnerships with technology providers, and industry and research organizations to accelerate technology and workforce development.
