NOTE: Please read the WHOLE post, the answer to your question may not be where you expect it.

Engineering
-Specialization and Artisan-

In order to raise your Engineering skill past Expert (225) you must speak with the Master Engineer in Gadgetzan and learn Artisan Engineering. Specializing in Goblin or Gnome does NOT let you raise your skill to 300, it simply allows you to acess their schemata.

Level Requirements for training:
Level 5- Apprentice (Max 75)
Level 10- Journeyman (Max 150)
Level 20- Expert (Max 225)
Level 30- Specialization (Max 225)
Level 35- Artisan (Max 300)
Level 50 - Master (Max 375) (Need to enter Outland)

See Highlander's guides: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=13121383&pageNo=1&sid=1#13 (1-300) and http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=13121383&pageNo=2&sid=1#37 (300-375)

-Locations for commonly asked about parts-

Flask of Oil- Used in Gnomish Universal Remote and Goblin Jumper Cables. Can be found on Harvest Reapers in Westfall, the Goblins in the Boulder Lode Mine in the Barrens, the Goblins in the Deadmines, and dead combat pets.

Fused Wiring- Used in Alarm-O-Bot, Mechanical Dragonling, Field Repair Bot 74A, Gnomish Cloaking Device, Goblin Jumper Cables, Goblin Jumper Cables XL, Lil' Smokey and Bombling. Can be found rarely on mechanical mobs (Such as those in Gnomeragan and Venture Co. Shredder) and all types of target dummies and other combat pets, and Goblin Rocket Boots when they explode.

-Specializations-

At level 200 engineering, you can see your trainer about Goblin or Gnomish engineering. Gnomish engineers can use most Goblin-made stuff and vice versa, but not all and usually not the high-quality ones.

Reagents: Many specialization schematics require reagents (Goblin Rocket Fuel [Alchemy] and Inlaid Mithril Cylinder [Blacksmithing]) made by other professions. In order for these professions to make these items, they must learn it from a recipe that the engineers makes.

As of 1.10, you can delete engineering and take it up again to take up Goblin/Gnome engineering. Before 1.10, you could only take up the side you'd chosen at first. However, when rechoosing a side, you'll need to relevel engineering completely. If you have taken up a specialization, and dropped engineering again, visit Narain Soothfancy in his house north of Steamwheedle Port, Tanaris. Click the book "Soothsaying for Dummies" on his table, and voilá!

Goblin: Focus on bombs and fire damage. Quest can be started in Ratchet or Ironforge (after which you go to Gadgetzan). To complete quest you need 20 Big Iron Bombs, 5 Explosive Sheep, and 20 Solid Dynamite.
