Ooh, actually, I agree with you, FirstDrellSpectre. Infiltrators have the Decryption, Electronics, and Damping skills, as well as the nifty Tactical Cloak later on.

But Engineers can be considered a mixture of science and combat too, can't they? They can obtain ranks in Pistols in ME. In my ME3 playthrough, my Engineer carries nothing but the N7 Crusader shotgun. I chose Carnage as the bonus ability during character creation, and with those two things in combination, she can quickly take down Brutes and Ravagers. Engineers don't have to fight... but they can. :)
