If you are really interested in e&e, then you should pursue e&e. On the other hand, if your parents would prefer you to take e&c, then a good son abides by his parents' wishes...right? Of course you could take up f&f or, if your parents prefer, f&d or g&g but not g&e for obvious reasons!

The type of jobs available in e&e are o&o, p&p and occasionally q&q, but you would really need a PhD to become involved in any type of serious q&q. It is probably best to follow your instincts. I vote for e&e...with my apologies to your parents.

Do you think a few others like the first in your list of alternates also not for obvious reasons ?

The only thing I can figure is that he is referring to disciplines of engineering. E&e could be electrical and electronic, e&c could be electrical and control.

I don't know how these guys think they will be successful without basic communication skills. There is more to engineering than just number crunching. You must be able to make yourself understood.

I know from vast (or is it half vast) experience that working with someone in a technical environment who cannot speak the language clearly is very difficult.

Maybe they're counting on telepathy? But then, they'd still need to be able to think clearly, which they proved they can't do by trusting in telepathy.

Different countries use different terms so learn that you can't use an abbreviation and expect everyone to know. In fact, using abbreviations and acronyms is a bad idea unless you're talking people you know personally.

In the Philippines, EE is Electrical Engineering while ECE is Electronics and Communications Engineering. Electrical usually involves a job in power systems (generators, substations, power distribution, motors, residential and industrial electricity, etc.). Electronics and Communications deals more with smaller equipment (radios, TVs, calculators, radio transmitters, etc.). Computers used to be under ECE but newer courses have become available (Computer Engineering (more hardware) and Computer Science (more software)).

Note, however, that I am talking about the Philippines here. I have no idea where you are so things might be different in your country. The best people to ask are your own countrymen. You can also go to a college and inquire about their courses. You'll get better information there.

regards,

Vulcan

lynlynch's comment is very important. You need to define what is e&e and e&c and where you are. In some countries it may in fact be the reverse or totally different. Forget what it is called, find out what is the content. Work out what you want to do.

Most will not employ someone just because they have an e&e, or e&c, or p&q, it is what they can do with it. The e&e and e&c only demonstrates that someone has survived - it doesn't mean they can swim.
