Is there any difference between electrical engineering and electrical & electronics engineering?

Electrical and electronic engineering may sound similar, but they are very different. Both involve moving electricity around a circuit to power useful products and machines, but that is where the similarity ends! The main difference between electrical and electronic circuits is that electrical circuits have no decision making (processing) capability, whilst electronic circuits do. An electric circuit simply powers machines with electricity. However, an electronic circuit can interpret a signal or an instruction, and perform a task to suit the circumstance. To put it simply. Electrical is something that deals with High voltage like, Transmission Lines Heavy electric Motors Power generation etc. Electronics is something which works in electrical domain on Lower voltage and current. Like, Home appliance (TV, Refrigerator, Air Conditioner, PlayStation) Microprocessor, Microcontroler.
