A lot of engineers and scientists are introverts. Any profession that requires either deep thinking or difficult problem-solving usually has a disproportionately high number of introverts, because solitude is more conducive to deep-thinking, reflection, and analysis than socializing. Since extroverts become wearied by solitude, it is less likely that they are willing and able to be alone long enough to really think about and analyze things.
As far as being interested in interior or exterior objects, that has little to do with introversion/extroversion. Extroverts care more about interacting with the exterior world than introverts, but engineering doesn't revolve around social interaction but on problem solving and how stuff works. Although engineering usually entails extensive team-work, that team work revolves around problem solving, not socializing for the sake of socializing.
