    1. statics, dynamics;
    2. strength of materials (stress-strain relationships);
    3. fluid mechanics, hydraulics;
    4. thermodynamics;
    5. electrical fields and circuits;
    6. nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and
    7. any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics
OR

B. Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering.
