====Engineering Specializations====
* {{s|Starfleet Engineering School|Propulsion Systems}}
* {{s|Starfleet Engineering School|Material Engineering}}
* {{s|Starfleet Engineering School|Components Engineering}}
* {{s|Starfleet Engineering School|Programming}}


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.

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.
====Complementary Minors====
