Electronics Engineering and ECE are very similar and many colleges combine them into one degree. The main difference is that pure electronics focuses only on building parts and circuits.

ECE teaches those same basics plus how devices connect and communicate with each other.

Characteristics	Pure Electronics Engineering	Electronics and Communication Engineering
Focus	Electronics engineering deals with the design, development, and application of electronic devices and circuits.	Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is a more specialised branch of electronics engineering that focuses on the transmission and reception of signals.
Coursework	General	Focused on communication systems
Career Options	Wide range with various job roles such as Electronics engineer, circuit designer, embedded systems engineer, power electronics engineer	More likely to work in the communication industry with job roles such as Communication engineer, network engineer, microwave engineer, wireless engineer, RF engineer
Examples of topics covered	Semiconductor physics and devices, analog and digital electronics, circuit design, signal processing, power electronics, embedded systems	Communication theory, microwave engineering, antennas and propagation, digital signal processing, wireless communication, networking
