The Starfleet Corps of Engineers (otherwise known as the SCE, Starfleet Engineering, or Starfleet Engineering Corps) was created when United Earth Starfleet came to be. Its purpose was to create new and modify existing engineering applications, to organize repair schedules, and to create new ships. It did its job well from the time of its conception. It continues to create new projects, new ships, and find solutions to Starfleet's problems. Today, Starfleet engineers have a reputation among citizens of all powers of their technological abilities and some say Starfleet engineers can "take a rock and make a replicator".
History
United Earth
The Starfleet Corps of Enigneers was created around 2132 with the birth of United Earth Starfleet. The SCE was initially given the purpose of creating new ships and new warp drives. Zefram Cochrane was the head of this department before retiring and working as a civilian. Many of the basic warp theories discovered by Cochrane are still taught at the Academy today. In fact, it was the R&D department of the SCE, then known as Starfleet Engineering, that created both the Daedalus-class and NX-class starships, along with the Warp 5 warp engine. Working in conjunction with Starfleet Security, they also created body armor for security personnel and ablative armor for the hulls of ships. Upon meeting the Andorians, the SCE was driven to make more effective weaponry as the Andorians were quite militaristic. Instead, they discovered that the Andorians could be reasoned with and that the danger lay elsewhere.
With the disastrous first contact with the Romulans, Earth and Starfleet found themselves facing a war they were not prepared for. The SCE went to work to find a warp five engine and to also create better weaponry and defenses against the Romulan's tactics. They were successful to an extent though Earth would not have been able to win without the help of her allies.
Founding of the Federation
The peoples of the four member races of the fledgling Federation looked to the stars for allies, and did not find them right away, making the SCE more determined to create better ships, weapons, and warp drives. Instead, the Federation Council wanted them to concentrate on computer memory storage and power consumption so that Starfleet's ships would be able to better retain their data on mapping the quadrant and the races they met. Reluctantly agreeing, the engineers went to work on their tasks, and found them to be far more fulfilling than constantly working on battle technology.
