app.use([path,] callback [, callback...]) -> This code is what you use when you want a specific callback function to run at a specific path. This is called a middleware.
app.set(name, value) -> This code is what you use when you want assign a value to some variable. You can uyse any name, but certain names can be used to configure the behavior of the server.
One of these names is view engine (notice there is no hyphen). It will set the template engine to use.
If your aim is to set ejs as your template engine, just do app.set("view engine", "ejs");
