electrical engineering 

The art of mastering imaginary numbers and theoretical concepts that never actually work in practice. Then applying these idealistic numbers and concepts, followed by messing with the components until the desired result is achieved.

During her co-op, the electrical engineering student pretended to understand why the low pass filter worked properly.

Electrical Engineering 

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.

1.

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.

electrical engineering student 

A pathetic human being who studies a ridiculous amount of time just to hardly pass a class. Electrical engineering students are known for their love of MARVEL movies and metal music or punk occasionally, spending hours making edits of their professors, having bad hair, being socially awkward and functioning on little to no sleep. Half of them are sexists. An electrical engineering student can either evolve to a decent and happy human being or continue on and become a professor themselves. As some people say, one dies a hero or lives long enough to become the villain

Person A: Why is this guy hugging his laptop and crying?
Person B: Oh, he must be an electrical engineering student
