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. | 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. |
