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 Electrical Engineeringmug. Anonymous Caller: Me and my cousin do the Thomas the Tank Engine Pipeline for fun.
Whataburger Employee: What's that?
Anonymous Caller: Its where you take a Thomas the Tank Engine toy and put in a condom and shove it in each other's ass.
Whataburger Employee: Sounds like fun I'll try it after work!

You take a Thomas the Tank Engine toy and put in a condom and shove it in your ass or another's ass for fun; then you have a Thomas the Tank Engine Pipeline.

Get the Crypto Earning Engineermug. When an Engineer is consumed with self-esteem and glory, that despite the downfalls of the supporting product, environment, or company, and subsequent technical debt they are surrounded with (and possibly creating), they assist on creating the "shinny" new thing, and taking all the glory for its bloated success.
James Bond loved being in the spotlight so much, that he sacrificed the integrity of his work and well being of his team, to speedily re-created the company website on his own without consulting his team members. The results worked well, for 1/2 of all customers, but hey! Its really shinny! His ego-engineering communications and broadcast got him promoted, though he continues to break and create technical debt for the Company.

Get the ego-engineeringmug. Engineers, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed all-hands meeting. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e., a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the engineers.
The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the engineers are simultaneously alive and dead.
