They are sometimes called the hidden professions because unlike your doctor, dentist, veterinarian, lawyer or accountant, you may never directly require the services of a professional engineer and/or geoscientist. But every time you flick on a light switch, turn on a tap, ride in an elevator, use a telephone, turn the key in the ignition, drive on a road, fuel your vehicle or heat your home, you can do so in large part because of the research and applied science knowledge of engineers and/or geoscientists.
