42Bits:
What is the acronym for Electronics Engineering ? And it's not EE because that's for Electrical Engineering.

ejeffrey:
EE

flynwill:
When I was in school we referred to "Electrical Engineering" as in designing power plants as "single E" since we were studying "Electrical Engineering" as in circuits, transisters, etc which was "Double E".   Rather myopic point of view now that I think about it since I'm sure those power plants needed every much as much imagination, mathematical calculations and understanding.

CatalinaWOW:
It is EE.  Are electronics not electric?

There is no special acronym for most of the specialties within electrical engineering.  RF engineers, power engineers, control system engineers, analog engineers, digital engineers, semiconductor engineers (except for those that are chemists or physicists or whatever), are all electrical engineers.

TimFox:
"EE" is an abbreviation.  Nobody pronounces it as a scream.
"Acronyms" are abbreviations that can be pronounced as a word, such as "laser", "NASA", and "FET".
The suffix "nym" shows up in other names for types of words, such as "homonym" and "antonym".
