Starfleet
Academy Engineering Branch |
Engineering personnel provide the necessary repair and upkeep of equipment aboard ship. It is suggested that prospective Engineers select one (or more) Engineering skills to specialize in. Note that Starfleet Engineers, at first, are primarily concerned with the various electronics systems throughout the ship. This is due to the Federation's heavy use of electronic equipment for almost every function. The only non-electronic equipment aboard most ships are the Warp drives and Impulse engines. However, Engineers can specialize in any Engineering or Mechanic field, because Starfleet encourages research and development of newer and better systems. Cadets Majoring in Engineering usually take Helm/Navigation as their
Minor. Some smaller ships may use the Engineer as a back-up commander.
Those Engineers may Minor in Operations, and will want to go to Command
School. |
