Thinking back to uni. My uni (best in a state you never think about) spends 2 years at the start of all engineering degrees focused on general engineering before specializing. That might sound strange but my uni only offers 5 year BSc + MEng courses.
If you are curious what my uni considers essential information for all engineers I will list the units and the books if I can find them.
Engineering Materials
>Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction; W.D. Callister, Jr. and D.G. Rethwisch>Engineering Materials: An Introduction to their properties, applications and design; David R.H. Jones and Michael F. Ashby>Also includes statics, but I cant find the book. Probably Beer et. al.Motion
>Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics Beer, F. et al.>Essentials of Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications Cimbala, J. M. and Cengel, Y. A.>Conservation Principles and the Structure of Engineering Glover, C. et al. >Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering Rizzoni, GEnergy
>Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Alexander, C. K. and Sadiku, M. N. O.>Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future Boyle, G>Thermodynamics: an Engineering Approach Çengel, Y. A. and Boles, M. A.>Electric Machinery and Power System Fundamentals Chapman, S. J.>Engineering and Chemical Thermodynamics Koretsky, M. D.>Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems G. M.>Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering Rizzoni, G.Computer Analysis and Visualization
Physics for Scientists and Engineers (for 90% of courses)
General Chem 2 (for Chems)
Multivariable Calculus
Mathematical Theory and Methods
Advanced Mathematics Applications
