EE Vs ECE Comparison

Electrical Engineering (EE) focuses on power systems and machines, while Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) emphasizes analog/digital electronics and communication. EE has high mathematical rigor and involves heavy hardware, whereas ECE has moderate hardware involvement and overlaps significantly with computer science and IT. Job opportunities in EE are primarily in power-related sectors, while ECE graduates have broader prospects in electronics and IT industries.
