Electrical Engineering VS Electrical and Electronic Engineering?

hi, Im currently an Electrical and Electronic Engineering student, and i still have time to decide if I wanna do electrical an electronic or just electrical. I am more inclined towards electrical but could anyone explain what the real difference is? and what the prospects of each are? thanks a lot
Typically: Electrical engineering is about utilizing the fundamental physics of electrical energy & power, electronics is more leaning on the control to apply electrical energy for a type of device/system.

It’s really worth looking at the modules, because the reality is there is a lot of crossover & degrees ultimately should stitch both the fundamental theory & application together. Wether a degree title is ee or eee doesn’t tell the full story the modules and content is what is worth investigating.
