Does anyone on this forum know what is engineering and how can I apply it to things in the real world, for example, applications we see everyday outside in electrical engineering (i.e. toaster, oven, power lines, microwaves, etc.)

Thanks!

Everything. Pick up a random object near you, and an Engineer has been involved in its creation (in some capacity).

This is a complete definition of Engineering:
"Engineering is the profession , art, skill and discipline of acquiring and applying mathematical, scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge to build structures, design, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes that safely realize improvements to the lives of people."
