to add to JT's post..

There is nothing in the design criteria that addresses EO. It is considered an emergency op. Nothing in charts(unless you had them privately designed) will reference EO.

I was told by a captain that the FMC of the aircraft (B737) calculates the performance of the aircraft on the SID for one engine out event when you enter the SID. Can someone confirm this?
That is not true. There are no EO DP procedures unless you had one customed designed.

You will find that for twins, if you actually calc it out, that there is virtually no way you can meet SID requirements EO, or missed EO in gradient, unless you have a special procedure designed, or limit your weights.

again, I have data for 0.0% 2nd segment OEI operation)
if you are EO, you dont have a level off 2nd segment.

Again, nothing in procedure design criteria references EO, either in missed or departure.
