Rule From the effect text
+1 Engineering for every permanent 1 Elemental Damage you have. The bonus is floor(Elemental Damage ÷ 1) × 1, recalculated as the stat changes; only permanent stats count, so temporary wave bonuses do not. Every source of Elemental Damage below therefore also raises Engineering.
