Although both Electrical Engineering and Electronic Engineering deal with electricity and electromagnetics, the two specialties have a slightly different focus.
Electrical Engineering deals primarily with power generation and distribution, motors, electrical control systems, and generally large scale, high power systems.
Electronic Engineering deals primarily with the processing and transmission of analog and digital information, which are usually low power systems. An exception would be high power radio or television transmitters, which are within the domain of electronics.
The distinction between the two comes about because there is so much knowledge in the field that one person can't really learn it all. For myself, I am an electronics engineer, but my degree just specifies engineering without identifying what type. I am also licensed with the State of California as an electrical engineer, because the State does not distinguish between electrical and electronic engineering.

Electronic engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the behavior and effects of electrons (as in electron tubes and transistors) and with electronic devices, systems, or equipment. The term now also covers a large part of electrical engineering degree courses as studied at most European universities. Its practitioners are called electronics engineers in Europe. In the Americas and some other parts of the world, the term electrical engineer is used to describe a person doing the same work. In many areas, electronic engineering is considered to be at the same level as electrical engineering, requiring that more general programmes be called electrical and electronic engineering (many UK universities have departments of Electronic and Electrical Engineering). Both define a broad field that encompasses many subfields including those that deal with power, instrumentation engineering, telecommunications, and semiconductor circuit design amongst many others. Electrical engineering (sometimes referred to as electrical and electronic engineering) is a semi-professional and professional engineering discipline that deals with the study and/or application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. The field now covers a range of sub-studies including those that deal with power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications. The term electrical engineering may or may not encompass electronic engineering. Where a distinction is made, electrical engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with large-scale electrical systems such as power transmission and motor control, whereas electronic engineering deals with the study of small-scale electronic systems including computers and integrated circuits.Another way of looking at the distinction is that electrical engineers are usually concerned with using electricity to transmit energy, while electronics engineers are concerned with using electricity to transmit information.

Electrical Engineering the science that deals with flow of electrons through metals only. It includes generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.
Electronics Engineering is the science that deals with flow of electrons though vacuum, gases and semiconductors.
