 TITANIC - A Voyage of Discovery (maiden)
All ships of the period had an engineering routine and this varied from company to company but for any steam ship there was a need to keep well manned watches in the engine rooms and the boiler rooms.
This would have allowed for four engineers in the engine rooms looking after the reciprocating engines, turbine and other machinery such as the pumps and steering gear, whilst three engineers would have been responsible for the boiler rooms.
The Refrigeration Engineer (extra 4th Engineer), two Deck Engineers, two boiler makers and plumber are likely to have been on day work; their work would be as directed by the watchkeeping engineers or as circumstances required.

 USS Merlin - Assistant Chief Engineer
Though she never had any interest in engineering before she chose it as her study and after several hard weeks of near failing grades she discovered her natural aptitude for engineering and her trained hands from working with art most of her life proved to be a big asset.

She stayed more distant from the crew members of the Myers but her engineering skills were now undoubtedly excellent which warranted a promotional transfer to the USS Merlin as its Assistant Chief Engineer.

 Hernando: New fire truck safer for engineer, says chief
With the district's current fire trucks, the engineer's water pressure gauges are affixed to the side of fire trucks - forcing the engineer to stand in the street at risk of being struck by passing vehicles, said Fire Chief J.J. Morrison.
If the gauges are facing away from the fire, the engineer's view of the action would be obscured, Morrison said.
If the truck purchase is approved, the new fire engine would be delivered sometime in the middle of 2004, since it is expected to take six months to build.

There are nine waste heat recovery boilers mounted in the engine exhaust uptakes, coupled with two oil-fired boilers designed to produce steam for fuel heating, domestic fresh water heating, heating of swimming pools and steam for the laundry equipment and kitchens.
In 1865 it was decided that British naval engineers would wear a purple background to their gold braid of rank in order to distinguish them from other officers and that colour coding transferred to the British mercantile engineer officers when they started wearing uniforms.
Although engineer officers aboard passenger ships wore uniforms the practice was not common aboard cargo ships prior to WWI and so purple was not usually seen.

 Montgomery Scott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scotty's operating of the Enterprise transporter system inspired the catch phrase "Beam me up, Scotty", which gained currency in pop culture even beyond Star Trek fans, though that exact phrase was never spoken in any episode of the show.
Scotty also became a kind of general cliché for any chief engineer in the movie genre of science fiction parodies.
It has also become something of a cliché for starship engineers to be Scottish — even Star Trek: The Next Generation briefly had a Scottish engineer aboard the Enterprise-D.

 The Modern Chief Engineer; an article by Ieuan Dolby
For the sake of discrepancy or misunderstanding I must clarify what an actual Chief Engineers duties are onboard a vessel, were he stands in the hierarchy of ranks and culture of life onboard.
The Chief Engineer on the other hand has the rather arduous task of keeping anything remotely mechanical in working order, or for that matter to get it fixed should it not be doing what it was designed to.
To aid him in this task is a small army of engineers and oilers who bear equal rank and position to their counterparts in the deck department and whilst one might be staring at the stars the other under an engine they share the same tables and position as each other.
