Heroic scientists and engineers in Star Trek

The Star Trek universe abounds with scientific and engineering heroes. Thanks to the fact that the Starfleet Academy's curriculum includes a large portion of scientific and engineering training, pretty much all Starfleet officers on the various ST series can be considered to fit in the current category. More specifically, Starfleet has several specialised scientific branches. The Starfleet Engineering Corps produced its share of heroic engineers, and the doctors of Starfleet Medical are responsible for discovering the cures of several diseases and developing a number of groundbreaking medical procedures. Starfleet Science Officers are responsible for all kinds of scientific research not covered by the two other branches. Thus, a list of scientific and engineering heroes in Star Trek might be as long as the list of Star Trek characters. Star Trek is an American science-fiction franchise spanning six television series, ten feature films, hundreds of novels, computer and video games, and other fan stories. ...

However, by narrowing the search to the set of main characters from each of the five series whose primary duty was science officer, chief medical officer or chief engineer, and adding the handful of scientists who've invented the technologies crucial to the stories, we can come up with a more manageable list:

• Reginald Barclay (TNG and VOY) - An engineer originally assigned to the USS Enterprise-D and later played a key role in a later project which enabled regular contact with the missing Starfleet ship, USS Voyager.
• Julian Bashir (DS9) – Chief medical officer on Deep Space 9.
• Dr. Philip Boyce (The Cage) — Enterprise doctor for this pilot episode only
• Zefram Cochrane (Metamorphosis (Star Trek) and Star Trek: First Contact) – Inventor of the warp drive.
• Beverly Crusher (TNG) – Chief medical officer of the Enterprise-D.
• Data (TNG) – Second officer and chief operations officer of the Enterprise-D, but his duties covered that of a science officer.
• Jadzia Dax (DS9) – Science officer on Deep Space 9.
• Dr. Richard Daystrom (The Ultimate Computer) – Inventor of the duotronic computer systems, the basic principles behind the computers on all Starfleet vessels.

• Mr. Spock (TOS) – Science officer and second-in-command of the Enterprise.
• Leonard McCoy (TOS) – Chief Medical Officer of the Enterprise.
• Phlox (ENT) – Chief Medical Officer on the Enterprise-NX.
• Seven of Nine (VOY) – Borg drone with no official rank or post, but due to her access to advanced Borg knowledge, she was used as an acting science officer on Voyager.
• T'Pol (ENT) – Second-in-command of the Enterprise-NX, though the crew relied on her as an acting science officer as well.
• B'Elanna Torres (VOY) – Chief engineer of the Voyager.
