Another of the panels of the Committee on the Education and Utilization of the Engineer, the Panel on Infrastructure Diagramming and Modeling, has formally defined engineer, engineering technologist, and engineering technician. This panel subscribes to those definitions, but the available statistical data bar strict adherence to them in characterizing the engineering work force.

Although the surveys conducted by these and other organizations supply much useful information, each is designed to meet specific needs and has no apparent reference to data from other sources. This lack of coordination leads to data bases that have gaps and inconsistencies and are poorly suited to integrated analyses.

The scientist fundamentally seeks new knowledge with no specific goal in mind; the engineer, even the research engineer, generally works with some practical goal in mind. The two endeavors are synergistic: engineers use the knowledge developed by scientists to open and advance new fields of engineering, which in turn create demands that lead scientists to open and advance new fields of science.
