Engineers are not scientists. Scientists do research on groundbreaking science. Engineers apply esisting science and technology. Engineers design things and for the most part for commercial application. Engineers study engineering because they are interested in earning top bucks as an engineer. Most scientists study science out of their love of science and desire to learn. Scientists who want to be professionals mostly have to pursue advanced degrees (PhD minimum). Engineers can get away with a bachelor's degree.

MD's on the other hand are scientists if they have PhD in Medicine and do Medical research. MD's can be just common GP's and just do mostly mundane medicine (like writing Viagara prescriptions).

It's valid to break out the MD's and Engineers from the group.
