#REDIRECT [[Intrepid class/Engineering bridge station]]
 
The Engineering station is located in a recessed alcove on the starboard side of the [[Intrepid Bridge|Main Bridge]], fore of the [[Intrepid Tactical Station|Tactical Station]] and adjacent to the captain's [[Intrepid Ready Room|Ready Room]]. The Engineering systems monitor duplicates in simplified form the Chief Engineer's primary status displays from [[Intrepid Engineering|Main Engineering]]. These displays include the warp propulsion system, impulse propulsion system, and related subsystems. The purpose of this station is to permit the Chief Engineer to maintain supervision over engineering systems while on the bridge. This is particularly critical during Alert situations that may require the Chief Engineer's presence on the bridge while simultaneously requiring that officer to maintain a close watch over the status of key systems. During most routine operations, bridge monitoring of these systems is the responsibility of the [[Intrepid Conn Station|Flight Control Officer]] and the [[Intrepid Operations Station|Operations Manager]].
 
Although this station is normally configured for passive systems status display, priority access by the Chief Engineer or senior staff can provide full control of virtually all engineering systems.
 
The console is linked to the engineering systems through the bridge's dedicated optical data network (ODN) trunks, but an additional measure of redundancy is provided by dedicated optical hardlines, which permit direct control of key systems in the event of major control systems failure. In such a case, the main computer cores would be assumed to be unavailable ro unreliable, so manual control of systems would be enabled with support from the bridge Engineering subprocessor.
 
This station is normally unattended, except by the Chief Engineer or key Engineering personnel, although most of its displays are readily accessible to both [[Intrepid Operations Station|Ops]] and [[Intrepid Conn Station|Conn]] through their respective control programs.
