The Center for Advanced Engineering Environments (CAEE) is a department center of the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology at Old Dominion University. The center was created in 2001 to serve as a focal point for research activities pertaining to Collaborative distributed Knowledge discovery and exploitation, Interactive visual simulations, Intelligent synthesis, and advanced learning/training technologies and environments, and their application to future complex engineering systems.

The activities of the center include the synergistic coupling of modeling, visual simulations, intelligent agents, multimedia and synthetic environments, 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.[1]

Objectives

The Center has the following five specific objectives:

  1. Conduct innovative research on applications of the aforementioned areas to complex engineering systems.
  2. Develop innovative paradigms, technologies and strategies for Advanced Learning / Training Environments.
  3. Act as a pathfinder, by demonstrating to the research community what can be done (high-potential, high-risk research).[2]
  4. Help in identifying future directions of research, and future interdisciplinary areas, in support of future complex engineering systems.[3]
  5. Form strategic partnerships with technology providers, industry and research organizations to accelerate technology and workforce development.
