Im interested in doing my undergraduate course in something with regard to Electrical or Electronics. But i paticularly do not understand the difference between the two.
I am more inclined toward electronics but because of the few number of institutes that are offering the courses in elecronics i am beginning to feel that there is not much demand in this field.
The courses i am referring to here are:
1)Electroncs and Electrical
2)Electronics and instrumentation
3)Electronics and telecommunication
4)Electronics
5)Electrical

Which course has the maximum applicability in todays broad ranged market?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Most schools offer an electrical engineering degree and you can focus on electronics when you choose your professional electives.
 
Electronics or Electrical

Could someone please tell me in general what the scope of the Undergraduate level of the following engineering courses.

1]Electronics
2]Electronics and telecommunications
3]Electrical
And lastly
What on Earth is the difference between Electronics and Electrical
 
I find telecommunications by far the most interesting.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
