 Engineering is the skill that governs the repair of anything bot-sized or larger (yes, there is an overlap with Science on bots). You'll also use it to pump the engines for more power as well as power transfers and the operation of a few Cargo Bay items like Tractors, and Damage Control. Engineering is the skill that governs the repair of anything bot-sized or larger (yes, there is an overlap with Science on bots).

 A subsequent repair action will put the module back in working form but it will be impaired. A module with crammed objects in it functions at a +1 difficulty per crammed object.

-Crammed characters (stowaways) tax Life Support just as much as the rest of the crew. A crew of 4 with a stowaway crammed in a Life Support would suffer 2 dice of unsupported Life Support damage.
