Jim - Re:"What curriculum is "course 3"

Good question.

MIT has its own cultural peculiarities, as do most colleges, universities and institutions.

One of these is that each major curriculum has a Course Number assigned to it, as well as the general Course Name.

For example, some of these for the School of Engineering are
as follows:

Civil and Environmental Engineering (Course 1)
Mechanical Engineering (Course 2)
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6)
Materials Science and Engineering (Course 3)
Chemical Engineering (Course 10)
Ocean Engineering (Course 13)
Aeronautics and Astronautics (Course 16)
Nuclear Engineering (Course 22)

It's quite common to refer to your department major by it's Course number. In fact, that was nearly universally done in my day - way back in the 70's!
