You might give them something to do like clear wrecks, fill in AT ditches, clear wire, and clear ruins/rubble. Maybe even create AT ditches, make rubble or roadblocks with a procedure like clearing minefields.

Make them subject to surrender, at least when disrupted or demoralized. ("Hey, the boss is down! FAC!")
... More and more, people around the world are coming to realize that the world is flat!

RE: Japenese SER units
Most importantly, unless a further expansion has stated otherwise, SER units count as Japanese INF units for purposes of assault for the (+1) assault modifier; love them or hate them they are at least no worse, if not better than many "early war" Soviet INF. Many a time has a lowly SER unit stood up and succeeded ( before being eliminated) in showing up even the elite SNLF troops in some of the 'Guadalcanal' scenarios I've played out.

I don't know if entrenchment construction rules were in the first edition of the rules (which I believe were only distributed at the game's convention debut), but my original PG game as a UC side for entrenchment counters, indicating that construction was part of the original rules
I agree, the should not receive the plus one. also does anyone have any house rules for engineers building bridges, cutting down forest, repairing vehicles?
