There are also various combinations of coursework that qualify (x semester hours of physics, y semester hours of engineering or chemistry, etc...). It's in the patent exam application docs. One interesting and controversial one is that mathematics courses are excluded from patent prep (i.e., mathematics is specifically excluded from the list of courses that qualify you for the patent bar[1]). https://www.math.utah.edu/~palais/grb.pdf https://www.math.utah.edu/~palais/grb.pdf https://www.math.utah.edu/~palais/usptovsmath.html https://www.math.utah.edu/~palais/usptovsmath.html [1] perhaps this is why mathematics dressed up as something else often gets patented, because the patent bar specifically and deliberately excludes people with strong math backgrounds from the profession.
