What is the difference between Information Technology and Information Engineering?

I want to apply for a major in a university. From the list of programs they offer, I saw only Information Engineering. I want to know if it is the same as Information Technology. Please I will also like to know the subjects involves in those two major and the kind of work/career they perform. Thank you.What is the difference between Information Technology and Information Engineering?
No! absolutely not!



Information technology would train you to be a proficient secretary, PA or librarian ( it encompasses learning to write essays, learning how to use Microsoft word and excel etc, and learning about the power of information ) . Information engineering is more like communications engineering. You would learn how to become a technician for a telecommunications company or the likes. you learn about transmitters and transistors, ( it would encompass a broad range of things from physics, and engineering to hands on mechanical training. )
