Ola pessoal
uma pessoa me sugeriu
" electrotechnics" que tem aproximadamente 220.000 entradas no Google...
veratek Jul 27, 2007:
I don't mean to be too picky, but it doesn't hurt to find out the exact meaning of words. Maria clarified, "Electrical engineering can be the name of a single course " -OK. But the term "engenharia eletrica" exists - is it the same as eletrotecnica?
Bett (asker) Jul 26, 2007:
Actually, his is just one course (name of the course not of the degree ) which is part of a degree in Agricultural Engineering.
I found " Electrotechnics" on the Internet but I am not sure about the sources...

In this case it would be a degree in one specific course: Electrical Engineering.
agree lexical

Many thanks Lexical.
agree Maria Karra : Electrical engineering can be the name of a single course as well as the name of a degree program. For example I took EE levels I and II as an undergrad.

Your're right Maria, thanks.

electro(-)technology

Many of my text-books included 'electrotechnology' (with or without a hyhen) in their titles. As did the title of the journal of the professional association I used to belong to.

In the UK at least, electrotechnology is not the same as electrical engineering, at least in academic circles.

my question here is that in the context posted, "eletrotecnica" is the name of one course subject only - it's not the professional title (engineer, technician, whatever), nor the dept, nor the degree.

So, yes, "elect technician" wouldn't be good.

but I wondered if there is a single course called "elect engineering" - I always understood that as the whole program, like you have civil engineering, mechanical, etc.

the entry said, "it is a list of courses for a university degree." - not "it's a university degree."

Is my question clear now?

neutral Susy Ordaz : You don't become an electrical technician with a university degree, that would be an engineer.
