Electronics and hardware are the same thing. I'm a hardware engineer and I design electronics. The term hardware could also be used to describe things like nuts and bolts but but that isn't a common usage in engineering.
So is the guy I'm working with but he is a couple of layers above the transistors...more into FPGA/Systems/Logic CAD.
I understand your point; only wondering why use 'hardware' and not 'electronics' - from a business development perspective. Perhaps it points to future plans.
We real hardware people don't take too kindly to FPGA types declaring themselves to be hardware people. They're really only initializing a stinkin' big pile of look-up tables anyway.
You get to be hardware when you use a soldering iron :P
