See, you are right that most (read: all) professors at a research university are there because they want to do research. However, there are quite a few who also enjoy teaching at least on a limited basis (like a class or two a semester). Believe it or not, there are people who have a passion for building the engineers of tomorrow. That can help advance the science just as much as hard research can.
