Depends. My dad was a professor (mining engineering) but he also had a tonne of hands-on experience before before and during. Teaching and applied work for decades. It's different today, I guess, with all the grants.

IтАЩd probably like your dad. I went to a uni that had a special parking lot for Nobel laureates. LetтАЩs just say nobody had any hands on experience, and nobody seemed to know how an air conditioner workedтАж good place for theory. Useless for anything practical.
I'm sure you would've liked him. Sad to say he got retired with a sigh of relief because the newer crops of students couldn't care less about what he and everyone else at the university was teaching. Engineering fell out of favour in the 90s. Tide may be turning now, though.
This is really strange, focusing exclusively on theory when it comes to sciences such as engineering.
