A field of study offered by college universities that focuses on math and applied sciences. Students who decide to major in engineering are usually obese and socially awkward individuals (think Yu-gi-oh card players and band geeks) going into the major with the false hope that the big pay check later will make everything better. They sacrifice all good aspects of life (healthy eating habits, developing good social skills, having a open mind, and sex) in order to study arbitrary things such as multivariable calculus and thermodynamics. In their quest to become soulless number crunching zombies they begin to bash on other majors constantly complaining on how hard and important their major is and anything that's not engineering is irrelevant. In reality they are short changing themselves from developing important social networking skills (which is essential in the job market) and obtaining a well rounded education. When the time does come they will most likely screw up on the interview to get the big job (due to their social awkwardness) and end up teaching at a community college as a second rate professor.
Humanities/Business major: Hey loser!
Engineering student (in his head): I'll show you. What I'm studying is important and it's going to get me that big pay check. Then all the ladies will come to me.

Humanities/Business major (now a CEO): Hey loser!
Engineering student (in his head): Doh! Well at least I have my health..... wait no I don't.

Get the presidental engineering mug.To over-engineering an explanation when a simple explanation would suffice. Usually with good intentions but has the effect of utterly confusing the recipient or boring them to tears.
Question from mom: What was the problem with the Roku?
Engineersplain: I needed to edit iptables to forward external TDP ports 80 and 443 to the Roku. I also needed to forward UDP port 53. Once that was done I restarted iptables and IP traffic was able ingress/egress from the Roku to the Internet and vice versa.
