noun
1. (of an undergraduate in college) a branch of STEM that focuses primarily on the movement of electrons and their applications in various ways. Those who practice electrical engineering (called Electrical Engineers, abbreviated EEE's) tend to lose touch with reality and become completely engulfed by concepts and math incomprehensible to all except other EEE’s and MATLAB. People often enter the field due to a severe lack of social success, including being unpopular in high school. They are then inspired to power through one excruciating class after another, enticed by the promises of large cash rewards straight out of college. The percentage of male electrical engineering students with girlfriends is given by the Planck constant, 6.626e-34…another reason why EEE's are persuaded to give up all hope of regular life and instead devote every last drop of mental energy to nearly failing every single class their academic advisor tells them to take. In between getting bullied by their coursework, many EEE’s take great delight in ridiculing other college students in general, and mechanical engineers and computer science majors in particular, for earning easier and less valuable degrees than their own.
ORIGIN
early-mid 19th century: from English, refers to researchers and scientists that discovered the foundational principles of electrical engineering, such as Georg Ohm (Ohm’s Law), Gustav Kirchhoff (KCL, KVL), James Maxwell (Maxwell’s Equations), and more.

Girlfriend: I love you so much!
Electrical Engineer: I love you as much as the Bose-Einstein Distribution’s value at E = µ!
Girlfriend: What does that mean?
Electrical Engineer: It means I love you infinitely much, because at the point where the function goes to…*continues to ramble for a half-hour*
Business major: I feel so stressed, I think I’m going to crash out.
Electrical Engineer: Come do these MOSFET circuit experiments, obtain expressions for these electric fields, convolve these CT signals using Fourier transforms, and derive wave equations for these free electrons. If you aren’t doing electrical engineering, you don’t know what being stressed really feels like.

Get the liquid electricity mug.That specific type of energy you unlock when you finally stop masking and people-pleasing. It's when you decide to reclaim the raw, messy, vibrant version of yourself that existed before society traumatized you into being boring. The exact opposite of feeling dead inside.
I just want the electricity back.
The current that ran through me
before I learned to fear the surge.
I am done with the polite smile,
the one that stops at the teeth.
I want the laugh that hurts.
I want to feel the weather
instead of just dressing for it.
I want to listen to the voice
I strangled into a whisper
just to keep the peace.
I don’t need perfect.
I just need mine.
The unapologetic,
vibrant,
messy version of me
who existed before the doubt set in.
She is coming back.
I am leaving the door unlocked.
I'm tired of performing for everyone else; I just need to find the electricity again.
