DESCRIPTION:Core collapse supernovae play many important roles in astronom
 y and astrophysics. They trigger and regulate star formation through the e
 nergy they inject into the interstellar medium and they forge and disperse
  elements that seed the next generation of stars.  On much more compact sc
 ales\, which is the focus area of this talk\, core collapsing stars are th
 e birth sites of neutron stars and black holes\, and therefore they are th
 e gateway to the compact Universe.  Numerical simulations of the core coll
 apse have rapidly progressed in the last decade.  Explosions are now readi
 ly obtained\, the key ingredient being multidimensionality.  This colloqui
 um will review recent progress in understanding the central engines at the
  heart of core-collapse supernovae.  I'll touch upon how we can still use 
 1D simulations to understand the population as a whole\, 2D simulations to
  systematically study theoretical uncertainties and explore the multimesse
 nger signals\, and 3D simulations to push our understanding of these extre
 me events.
