What does it mean when a school is "more theory based"

think about this way. For mechanical engineers, people might think of them in two ways, those with technical study or those with theoretical study. Technical stuff is something like fixing a car with your own hands like mechanics do. Theoretical stuff is something like using equations and knowing the theoretical concepts about the efficiency of the engines, and so forth. As you might guess, most universities try their best to rely on theoretical study, and I believe this is what university is all about, unless you go to “technical school” or whatever some TV commercials advertize.
