Starfleet Corps of Engineers is a series of novellas set in the Star Trek universe, initially under the title S.C.E. (2000-2006), now under the new title Corps of Engineers (2006-present). Like other Star Trek books, the books are officially licensed, but not considered canon.
The S.C.E. books were unique among officially published Star Trek fiction as they are initially published exclusively in the ebook format for electronic download. (Many of these novellas have subsequently been reprinted in paperback omnibuses, with anywhere from three to eight stories per volume.) In March 2008, however, publisher Pocket Books announced that the ebook line was going "on hiatus", putting the future of the line in question.

Future paperback reprints are likely to continue at a rate of one to two per year.
After the conclusion of the What's Past storyline, the series name was changed from Star Trek: S.C.E. to Star Trek: Corps of Engineers, and the numbering of installments was dropped. The series was also reduced from twelve ebooks per year to six, with the other six monthly slots filled with various other Star Trek projects. The first book of the relaunched series, Turn the Page by Dayton Ward and Kevin Dilmore, was released in December 2006.
Since the publication of the final ebooks in 2007, the S.C.E characters have appeared or been mentioned in other Star Trek novels. The Star Trek: Destiny trilogy and its follow-up, A Singular Destiny, establish that Captain David Gold resigned from Starfleet in 2380 (approximately two and a half years following the last S.C.E. story) and rejoined his wife on Earth. Sonya Gomez was thus promoted to captain of the da Vinci, with Domenica Corsi as her first officer, and Tev as the head of the Corps team. Corsi and Fabian Stevens were married, necessitating his transfer to another vessel. In the Star Trek: Voyager novel Unworthy, the chief engineer of the da Vinci, Nancy Conlon, has transferred to the same position aboard the USS Voyager.
In addition, the 23rd century S.C.E. characters established in Foundations continue to play a role in the ongoing Star Trek: Vanguard novel series.
