<p>Hello Everyone . I have been given a conditional offer from Imperial College London in Electrical & Electronic Engr and Electronic & Information Engr . I have to choose one as a firm acceptance and one as insured (Software Engr , U of Manchester). I am really not sure what is the difference between the two types of engineering and apparently couldnt find much on the internet either. Can anyone help me out on this?</p>
<p>your best bet would probabbly be asking what the difference between those 2 types of engineering is in the majors forum. you can also try emailing imperial or asking on the student room (a less fun, British version of CC).</p>
<p>I would guess–and this is just a guess–that “Electrical and Electronic” has more to do with various Electrical devices, while “Electronic & Information” has more to do with Information technology, i.e. computers. If your primary interest is in information and computer technology I would go with Electronic & Information. If you are not really interested in information and computer technology I would take the other one.</p>
<p>Looks like they both have a fair number of shared modules with information having software development, and electronic having hardware courses (semi conductors, circuit design etc).</p>
<p>Oh. Thanks stressedouttt. @TheRealKEVP To be honest , i am really not sure which field of engineering really is meant for me. I mean i have Phy chem maths and Eco in a levels. I find Economics torturous. Sciences on the other hand interests me. So i probably want to end up doing something there. All i can figure out abt these fields is from their names. The rest is all greek to me. Which is why i created this thread. My passion for gaming is tremendous which leads to opting for software engineering. But then I have really no idea what is it all about 
Any suggestions any one ?</p>
<p>And thanks jay55. I know. Its really frustrating -_-</p>
<p>If you want to do software engineering, it looks like you should choose Electronic & Information Engineering, based on the info that jay555 discovered. (And which also matched my original guess!)</p>
