Engineering Cadet Requirements

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 field, because StarFleet encourages research and development of newer and better systems. Complementary Minors

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. Another popular minor for engineers is physics. Engineering Major

To major in Engineering, a cadet must take these classes (4 credits):

Armory: Hand Phasers, Phaser Rifles and Artillery

Armory: Starship Phasers and Phaser Cannons

Armory: Photon Torpedos

Physics: Warp Theory

And 14 credits of these classes:

Engineering: Advanced Replicator Theory and Application

Engineering: Advanced Transporter Techniques, Technology and Theory

Engineering: Advanced Warp Systems

Engineering: Artificial Intelligence

Engineering: Automata, Computability, and Complexity

Engineering: Base-Mode Operations

Engineering: Base-Mode Programming

Engineering: Bio-Neural Components
