Summary
Engineers are one of two officially designated non-combatant infantry units that can be trained in the game (the other is the medic). Engineers are unable to attack or defend themselves from enemy fire, and are usually slower than other infantry units. To make up for this engineers have the abilty to imediatly heal any friendly structure to full health. Engineers are also the only units in the game able to capture enemy structures. The biggest drawback to training engineers in the RTS version of C&C is that they can only be used once, as the building they capture or heal results in the loss of the unit.

In Renegade the Engineers maintain their primary role of building repair and capture, but are armed with a 12-round silenced pistol and thus may defend themselves from an enemy attack. Engineers in Renegade were also shown repairing vehicles and healing other infantry units, roles which they did not have in the RTS version.
