Hi,

Below table shows how Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering are almost same:

Feature	Power Engineering	Electrical Engineering
Core Knowledge	Fundamentals of electricity, electromagnetism, circuits, power systems, energy conversion.	Fundamentals of electricity, electromagnetism, circuits, components, control systems.
Math and Physics	Strong foundation in calculus, linear algebra, physics (mechanics, thermodynamics).	Strong foundation in calculus, linear algebra, physics (mechanics, electromagnetism).
Problem Solving	Design, analyze, and optimize large-scale power systems for efficiency, reliability, and safety.	Design, analyze, and optimize electrical systems and devices for functionality, performance, and efficiency.
Software and Tools	MATLAB, power system analysis software, control system simulation tools.	Circuit simulation tools, PCB design software, electronics development tools.

Both Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering share a common foundation in electrical theory and problem solving skills. However, there are also some prominent differences between the two fields. Power Engineer
