Is there a way to change required fields by the state of the ECO? An example would be when the state is New I want to make sure that the change control board is filled in. Another example would be when the ECO is In Work that the change reason has been filled in. Thank you for your help.

You can either use a Method on the "onBeforeUpdate" Server Event to test for values based on the value of the "state" property or you can use the "Pre" Method on the Lifecycle transition to check the required values.
Using the Lifecycle transition may work better as it only prevents the promotion to the next state, rather than preventing the user from saving the Item (e.g. if he doesn't have the relevant information).

Thank you for your quick response. Is there a way to have multiple methods per transition in the Life Cycle Map or will I have to add to the current methods being used? Thanks for your help.

You can only call one Method on the L/C transition, but you can construct a custom Method to call several Methods on this e.g.:
// Custom Method
this = this.apply("My_Method01");
if (this.isError) {return this;}
this = this.apply("My_Method02");
if (this.isError) {return this;}
.....etc.
