Hello there, and welcome to the STF Academy Engineering Seminar. Your professor will be Admiral Larry Garfield. Larry has been a member of STF since 22 August 1997 and has served in a variety of capacities. His Engineering work includes co-designer of the Trafalgar, McCoy, and Viking-class specs as well as sole designer of the Yub nub class. He has served as Engineering Director, Asssitant Engineering Director, Engineering Assistant, and Dockmaster, and has authored or co-authored numerous Engineering Department policies. Now that I'm done tooting my own horn, on to the course.

Over the course of the lessons that follow we will be covering one major topic: Real Physics and Star Trek Physics. That is, we will be covering two major topics: Real Physics, Star Trek Physics, and How to Role Play in Engineering. We WILL be covering three major topics: Real Physics, Star Trek Physics, How to Role Play in Engineering, and Starship Design. Amongst the topics that we will be covering are such diverse subjects as...

Anyway, we'll be doing a lot. This class is intended to make you a better RPer as well as a better member of the ED. It will, hopefully, also inform you about matters of physics, real and Paramount, that you never knew and probably never wanted to. Be warned, however, that the pages that follow may contain graphic material, and are not recommended for people who are faint of heart or bandwidth.

So on to the course already!
