How electrical engineering is different from electronic engineering?
Answer:
Technically, electronic engineering is a branch of electrical engineering, characterised by the extensive use of amplifying devices such as the transistor.
In reality, electrical and electronic engineers pursue very different careers.
Someone described as an electrical engineer would mainly be concerned with heavy-current electrical power generation, transmission and application in fields such as lighting and transport.
An electronic engineer, on the other hand, would be more likely to work on light-current information processing systems such as audio, television, computers or telecommunications.
The two kinds of engineer do have to get together sometimes. Modern electrical power systems usually have electronic control, and large computer or telecoms systems will need electrical engineers to design and build their power supplies.
In a nutshell, you could say that electrical means big and powerful, electronic small and clever. But you need both.
Electrical Engineering includes electronic engineering as a special sub-category. Electrical engineering embraces power transmission, electro-mechanical devices (motors, generators), communications, as well as electronics. Originally electronics referred to vacuum tube circuits, but now includes solid state technology as well. There is no sharp dividing line between the fields, as modern electrical devices my contain components from all of these divisions.
Electrical engineering is so wide ...it includes amany other branches such as: electric power systems(generation, and distribution), communication systems, electronics, control systems, hardware... electronics is a branch of electrical engineering in a way. it conserns designing and development of electronic devices and so it is responciple to develope all that sciences. We can't forget the huge and fast development that electronic revolution brought to other sides of our life.
