What term is used there for an engineer
who works in fields of general electronics?
An electronics engineer...
This war was settled in 1963 when the American
Institute of
Electrical Engineers merged with the Institute of Radio
Engineers, realizing their battle was just silly and
counterproductive.
It was time, as serious electronics was moving into
telecommunications and computers, numerically controlled
machine tools, aviation, and more. If they had a separate
institute for each area of specialization, it would just
dilute the resources. Every one of them used Ohms law and
its derivatives.
