Hector Said:

What is the difference between a degree and a diploma in electrical and electronic engineering?

We Answered:

A diploma in Electrical Engineering requires a four year degree, usually 125 to 135 college credit hours. (four year study)

Electronic engineering comes in many forms. The most common is a two year degree, commonly referred to as a degree in Electronic Engineering Technology.

However, there are some schools which offer a four year degree, such as Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

The difference is primarily in the subjects studied in upper level courses. When I attended Oklahoma State (years ago), The Electrical Engineering Degree offered little in upper level courses on electrical POWER, such as electrical systems of 100 amperes ore more (typical residential service). Most of the courses were electronic in nature, dealing in miliamperes (thousandths of an amp) such as common with electronic devices such as computers, televisions, radios, etc.

Electrical systems of 100AMPS or more may include commercial and industrial systems of 600, 1200 3,000 and 5,000 amperes or more, and voltages of 120/240 volt systems (residential), 277/480 volt systems (commercial buildings) and 7,600, 13,000 volt and even 167,000 volt systems for industrial systems.

I hope this has been helpful
