    • Fluid mechanics, hydraulics;
    • Thermodynamics;
    • Electrical fields and circuits;
    • Nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties);
    • Any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics.
