It depends on country, school/education, etc. In some contexts, the two terms are synonyms. In others they have different meanings. In general:
- Electrical Engineers deal mostly with big machines, motors, power lines and power transmission, where the electricity is used to convey large amounts of energy.
- Electronics engineers prefer to be among low-power diodes, circuit boards, electronic chips, etc., where the electricity is used to convey analog or digital information.
Though both Electronics and Electrical Engineers can do the same job in industry they are not same.
Firstly their education is different as an Electronics Engineer will have more of Electronics papers and lesser Electrical Papers than the Electrical Engineer.
Secondly there is a stark difference between Electrical and Electronics that needs to be addressed. Electrical science normally deals with current in medium that readily allow current to flow through them (conductors).
On the other hand Electronics is a branch of science that deals with current in a medium that is reluctant to let current through them or only allow current through them under certain circumstances (semiconductors).
