<br />
Engineering or Main Engineering is usually located in a [[starship|starship's]] secondary hull, from where the ship's main power systems are controlled. The most notable exceptions to this placement are the NX and [[Constitution class]] starships, where Main Engineering was located at the back of the saucer section.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
Engineering's primary purpose is to be the central point for control of all engineering systems aboard a starship, especially those related to propulsion and power generation. The matter/[[antimatter]] reaction chamber is located in Engineering.<br />
<br />
For starship designs after the 23rd century, Engineering can be turned into a command and control center by converting a number of consoles to duplicate the stations on the [[bridge]]. The software is already preloaded onto these consoles and each vessel has specific procedures in place in case a situation warrants.<br />
<br />
== 24th century design ==<br />
24th century starships featured a more modern approach to the Engineering facility. Aboard the [[Galaxy class]] starship, Engineering was an open-plan facility, directly accessible from the corridor. Consisting of two levels, it housed the starship's [[warp core]] and primary engineering support systems.<br />
<br />
The corridor bulkhead housed the [[master systems display]]. Inside the main section, the master systems display was the operational focus of the room. Beyond this, heading towards the warp core, the [[Chief Engineering Officer|Chief Engineer]]'s office and several support consoles were located on the left, and the [[Assistant Chief Engineering Officer|Assistant Chief Engineer]]'s console on the right. These formed part of the bulkhead protecting the main part of Engineering from the warp core. Access to the upper level, a circular area surrounding the warp core, could be found by a ladder on the left of the core or an elevator on the right.<br />
