Hard disagree. Much of the page involves what normally would be electives. You need exposure to some subset, but not all of it.
To give you an idea, my undergrad in EE did not require a course on materials (although it was an elective).
Everything in "Phase 2" was an elective - none was required (although many universities do require the "electronic devices" course).
Needless to say, if everything in Phase 2 was an elective, so was everything in Phase 3.
Also, when I look at pretty much any job requiring EE, and intersect it with the courses I took as an EE undergrad, I find that most courses are not needed. EE (and an EE curriculum) is often quite broad. For any given course, there are plenty of jobs that will need that course, but most EE jobs will not. If the submitter has some specific goal in mind, he won't lose much by skipping courses not related to that goal.
To give you an idea, when I worked as an EE, I had to use basic circuit theory 2 or 3 times, digital logic only once, and the physics of electronic devices a lot. The level of EM I needed was satisfied by high school physics, so I won't even count EM. Everything else I took: Control theory, communications, electronic circuits, power/machines: Never used it.
