Boeing EICAS question....

Hello!

I've got a quick question about Boeing EICAS systems. As a former Airbus pilot, I'm curious as to the functionality of the EICAS when compared to an Airbus ECAM.

For example, should an engine fail at takeoff, the Airbus ECAM will provide the necessary steps to be completed to secure the engine and put out a fire if necessary. Does a modern Boeing EICAS provide the same level of guidance or does the crew perform memory items and consult the QRH.

Many thanks for any clarification.
