Request for tips for writing scientists & engineers.

I want to put together a story that's primarily science fiction, but my own background is limited. I don't mind writing a soft science fiction story but I'd like the few elements to be accurate and I would like to avoid the problems that seems to have arisen in Star Trek. So I was hoping that I could get some tips on writing a character that is perhaps a scientist and an engineer.

The general idea behind the story I want to write is not unlike a Torchwood/X-Files concept, but perhaps more aimed towards children, where the characters are investigating strange phenomenon around the world, and perhaps in space.
