I guess google "xcom ew research tree" is too much work, so let me do it for you:

I didnt find that. You didnt need to be sarcastic and ♥♥♥♥ about it.

And I dont even have Enemy Within, so I wouldnt even be googling for that.

Alien Materials -> Carapace Armor -> Skeleton Armor is the order of research you can do to start producing new armor. You can rush (relatively speaking) into higher tier armor by going UFO Power Source -> Elerium -> Titan Armor after Carapace is done, but the amount of time the research takes and the resources required to produce the suits means it's not a sound investment at the very beginning of the game.

Nothing has changed for armor requirements between EU and EW, so tech trees in that regard are pretty interchangeable. I could be wrong, but I beleive that none of the requirements changed between versions, so you can just ignore the gene mod/MEC stuff for tech.
