Electrical engineering (terminology)

The precise meaning of the term electrical engineering is not universally agreed upon. In some parts of the world, it is considered to be the most general of the electricity-related engineering disciplines, with electronics engineering being a subfield. In other areas, electronics engineering is considered to be at the same level as electrical engineering, requiring that more generalised programs be called electrical and electronics engineering.
