Question

在国外，电子工程和电气工程有什么不同？

Answer 1

电子工程就是学些电子电路，模拟的数字的，线性的非线的，信号系统处理，电磁场电磁波之类的
而电气工程在此基础上还要学光子学，计算机，微结构，材料，生物等

我感觉电气的范围更广泛一点，其实也是基于电子工程基础上衍生出来的，也比较有前景，如果你想搞科研的花，选电气吧

Answer 2

我以前也问过这个问题，不过我懒的翻译成中文，如果你打算出国就学着看英文吧。
Electrical Engineering has many subfields:

Devices: cellphones, etc...
Computer Architecture: Subfield of ECE--deals with CPU's, processors, etc...
Network Engineering and Signal Processing
Information Theory

All EE fields are pretty easy to find a job with. Electronics i believe deals with with more large scale devices and not so much the micro-devices that is involved in EE..

Classical electrical engineering deals with a lot of things like power systems, generators, electric motors etc.. Those are very important topics and very different from electronics, where you basically learn to design circuits and systems.

You can learn both things at the same time and if you go for a EE you will have to know some basics of both. What you end up specializing in depends a lot on what you like better... dealing with MV and GW (power) or nV/sqrt(Hz) and GHz (low noise analog and RF communications systems). There are enormously challenging opportunities in both.

They are basically the same thing, although technically Electronics is a subset of Electrical Engineering. Both would share 90% of the core requirement. With the right choice of elective classes you could steer either program either way.

The Electrical Engineering department has subfields that are, today, Electronic, Power and Communication and Telecommunication. So Electronic Engineering is a substance of Electrical Engineering.

Some universities name the department Electronic and Electrical Engineering; that is because Electronic Engineering in general is about dealing with the electron, a science thats application are electrical applications.
