The architectural & infrastructure-based disciplines tend to be theoretical no matter where you go. They can't go letting students actually have their buildings made, so it's just something that's on the bill when you choose structural. Of course, you can get around that by going into a real-world training program with one of the many companies lined up at Tech's door, though the low demand specifically for trainee-level structural engineers could make it a chore to hunt one down.

Also, for its more hands-on flagship programs, Tech is definitely more than theory. If you nose around campus some, you'll find that there are plenty of workshops and high-end tools available for the students to tinker. Even though I graduated mechanical, I spent many a moon in the MRDC electronics workshop and learned a lot more than I planned to.
