You are confused Subbie. Engineers are by no means scientists. They are technicians with more education.
I think this overarching statement requires some qualifications.
It is the knowledge of biology and geology which primarily supports an old earth and the theory of evolution. Those engineers who reject biology and geology are likely compartmentalists who know little or nothing outside of their given field due to a lack of curiosity. I have certainly encountered many who have the blinders on when it comes to the rest of the world, be it engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, economists, psychologists, 'professional educators' and so on.
Also it is important to add one can be self-taught if one has the desire.
My first college degree is in geological engineering. To me the geology part forces the engineering part to know the earth is old.
There is of course science in engineering, unfortunately some lack an understanding where the basic principles of engineering come from. Most the actual scientists and engineers I personally know see the natural sciences as mutually supporting in virtually every detail without any noticeable difference in specialization.
