    Hi,

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

    FeaturePower EngineeringElectrical Engineering
    Core KnowledgeFundamentals of electricity, electromagnetism, circuits, power systems, energy conversion.Fundamentals of electricity, electromagnetism, circuits, components, control systems.
    Math and PhysicsStrong foundation in calculus, linear algebra, physics (mechanics, thermodynamics).Strong foundation in calculus, linear algebra, physics (mechanics, electromagnetism).
    Problem SolvingDesign, 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 ToolsMATLAB, 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 Engineering usually focuses on the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, while Electrical Engineering covers a wider range of applications, such as electronics, communications, and control systems.

    Hope it clears your query !
