Definition of engine room

engine roomnoun

phòng máy

/ˈendʒɪn ruːm//ˈendʒɪn ruːm/

The term "engine room" originally referred to the space on a ship where the mechanical engines and related equipment were housed. The term "engine" incorporated both the steam engines themselves as well as any associated machinery used for steering, communication, and navigation. During the height of steam power in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the engine room became an integral and critical part of a ship, as these machines provided the necessary propulsion and power to navigate long distances at sea. Today, the term "engine room" still applies to the space on a ship where the engines, generators, and other mechanical equipment are found, but it has expanded to encompass newer technologies used on larger and more complex vessels. However, the significance of this space has not diminished, as it remains the heart of a ship's operations and requires skilled and specialized personnel to manage and maintain.
