The first digit is the school that offers it, then after the decimal point they have their number of classes. (EECS is unusual in that it has four digits after the decimal point, most every other course has just three.) In general, classes that are required start with 001 and increment up, such that 001 is the intro course, 002 follows from that, etc. Then electives start around 015 or so.
Course 1 is Civil Engineering, Course 2 is Mechanical engineering, Course 3 is materials science, etc. 6 is Electrical and Computer engineering.
So 2.009 is a mechanical engineering course, in this case one for students towards the end of their time. It's called Product Engineering Processes, where you create a new product from beginning to production.
So 6.0002 is pronounced "six triple oh two"?
6.0002 is now 6.100B (the B is deconflict) but most everything else went to four digits, with the last digit a 0 for undergrad and a 2 for graduate school taking the same class. e.g. 6.6830 is the undergraduate Computer Vision class and 6.6832 is the graduate Computer Vision class.
