Is electrical engineering is equivalent to electronic engineering?

Answer 1

Actually electrical engineering comprises all the subjects basics like electronic,

management, mechanical,computer based subjects through this we can learn all the subjects basics clearly and it is more useful for higher education. the very main advantage of picking electrical engineering is we can able to study any subjects related to research or industrial oriented or business oriented etc.., in our PG. electrical engineering subject is also one of the toughest one in engg stream, if we pick electronic engg we go only by communication or electronic side so my answer is electrical has the upper hand than the electronic engg

Answer 2

It depends, electronic engineers have a salary between 50,000 to $150,000, whereas electricians can have a salary between $25,000 to $300,000. The 6 figure salary for electricians is due to them owning their own business, where they take on more of a management role more so than being an electrician.

AnswerIn general, electrical engineers would earn more money than electricians, because they are more highly educated and would have a much higher level of responsibility than an electrician.

Answer 3

This is probably not going to be the answer you were expecting. Before I go on, if you don't read my full answer, then at least scroll down to the related links at the bottom. The TryEngineering site looks like it should be an excellent resource for someone trying to figure which direction to go.

One of these (Electrical or Electronics) isn't better than the other, as a generality. If it is a field or specialty that you are considering, then you may be better suited for one or the other, but they are more similar than different. It should be more about what you are interested in, really. A good Engineer has to know the math and science, sure enough. But the desire to solve problems is a key element. So if you like to figure a way, then Engineering may be for you. As for what kind of Engineer, that's kind-of up to you.

I would originally answer with: Electronics Engineering is a specialized field of Electrical Engineering. Electrical Engineering has many specialties: Electronics, Power Generation and Control, Communications, Signal Processing, to name some.

The Wikipedia article mentions that outside the United States, Electronics Engineering deals more with how electricity is used in processing information.

While Electrical Engineering deals more with transmitting energy.

It does go on to say that the distinction blurs with power electronics. If you go with the Energy vs Information premise, consider a radar system. This encompasses both, to an extent. The signal is generated to transmit, amplified to a power level so that it can be broadcast. Then if something is out there, the wave is reflected back as a weak signal. This signal is filtered and amplified and signal processed and then probably fed into a computer where some math formulas are used to compute the distance and direction of the reflected signal and output this as usable information. While somebody might argue that it's not really the same as sending raw power through those big power lines, some of the same factors that affect transmission lines, are affecting how the signal behaves when it leaves that radar dish.

Answer 4

It really depends upon utilization ,each one have it's own important scope
