Engineering station

Although most engineering functions were controlled from the engine room, engineering stations on the bridge of starships enabled monitoring and control by the chief engineer. These bridge stations were often identified as Engineering I and Engineering II. (, , , , )
In an early alternate 2268, Jadzia Dax visited the engineering station aboard the to re-route the ship's sensor interface, so that Benjamin Sisko could use a nearby station to access the ship's internal sensors to help locate the unknown bomb ladened tribble that was planted by Arne Darvin. ()
During the M-5 drill, later that year, Captain James T. Kirk and Spock called up to the bridge and instructed Pavel Chekov to the engineering station to "examine the H279 elements" and "also the G95 systems", where Chekov discovered that the G95 system appeared dead, as "all indicators are dark." This information allowed Spock to determine that "M-5 has rerouted helm control and navigational controls, bypassing this primary system." ()
The same year, when Larry Marvick caused the Enterprise to rapidly increase speed above warp factor 8.5, Spock ran to the vacated engineering station and observed the ship was at that point accelerating beyond warp 9. Captain Kirk asked "[c]an't you disengage power from there, Mister Spock?" Spock attempted to make such a correction, even requesting assisance from Ensign Pavel Chekov, before the problem was resolved from Engineering directly. ()
In 2369, Montgomery Scott recreated his old engineering station from the original on the holodeck of the . ()
The next year, Riker repeatedly occupied the engineering station in a holographic re-creation of the bridge aboard , observing holographic representations of the ship's staff officers. ()
