- If survival was your first priority, you could never be a real Goblin Engineer!
—Zap Farflinger, upon giving the Dimensional Ripper - Everlook Schematic
Goblin Engineering is one of two disciplines engineers may specialize in upon attaining level 20 and 200 skill. (The other is Gnome Engineering.) Its innovation is diverse with items ranging from 
[Goblin Rocket Helmet] and 
[Goblin Bomb Dispenser] to 
[The Big One]. This diversity can give Goblin Engineers the element of surprise and situational advantages when facing enemies.

Becoming a Goblin Engineer
Much like with Gnome Engineering, this is a three step process.
The referral
You first have to get a referral from an engineering trainer in a capitol city. Remember, you do have to have 200 skill, and be at least level 30 to be eligible.
- The referral quests: Goblin Engineering.
The pledge
The pledge is no longer required and is not a step in the process.
Showing your work
The trainer will ask you to show examples of your work. You will be handing over:
- 20x [Big Iron Bomb]
- 20x [Solid Dynamite]
- 5x [Explosive Sheep]
Raw mats breakdown:
- 30x [Iron Ore] OR [Iron Bar]
- 40x [Heavy Stone] OR [Heavy Blasting Powder]
- 20x [Solid Stone] OR 10x [Solid Blasting Powder]
- 10x [Silk Cloth]
- 20x [Wool Cloth]
- 10x [Copper Ore] & 10x [Tin Ore] OR 10x [Copper Bar] & 10x [Tin Bar] OR 20x [Bronze Bar]
- 5x [[Medium Leather}}
- 10x [Silver Ore] OR 10x [Silver Bar] OR 10x [Silver Contact]
Having done that, you are issued your 
[Goblin Engineer Membership Card], which entitles you to training on the 'goblin engineer only' engineering recipes. Congratulations! You have specialized in Goblin Engineering!
Your membership card
Prior to the release of Wrath of the Lich King, having completed the exercises above, you were given a [Goblin Engineer Membership Card]. It remained valid for 14 days of 'played time', not 14 real days.
If you ever found yourself without this card, you could pay 2 gold in dues to the Goblin Engineering trainer (still Nixx Sprocketspring) and get a new one. Since the release of Wrath of the Lich King, Goblin Engineering is added to your book as a skill.
An added benefit of renewing your membership prior to patch 3.2.2 was that you would be sent a renewal gift of some useful engineering schematic. 
[Schematic: Pet Bombling] formerly could only be acquired this way. However, this item now drops in Gnomeregan.
Goblin Engineering items
- Goblin Engineering items require specialization in Goblin Engineering to craft.
- Some Engineering items which have 'Goblin' in the title do not require specialization to craft or use, e.g.
[Goblin Jumper Cables].
- While some Goblin Engineering items require specialization to use, others do not. Some are tradable, some are BoP.
