There is always a theoretical and practical component in any engineer’s education and on the job training. This includes tests…

Yes. Usually when you want to prove something, this requires doing some tests! As Kyriakos mentionned, there is the theoretical part and the practical part usually follows.

Just like anything you want to be good at practice goes a long long way.
Signing up for training (like subjects in secondary school, college courses, apprenticeships, clubs like Irelands own TOG Hacker space) can help you get better at some of the important skills as well as understand the science behind some of the things we engineers do.
When you want to get a qualification or certificate (which you may need for some jobs) you will more than likely have to do tests however engineering has a lot of practical tests where you have to make something or do experiments to pass. I learn a lot by doing things and find written tests kinda hard sometimes so the apprenticeship was really good because it was 70% doing things and helped me get better at the written stuff for when I went back to college to get other qualifications compared to other paths.
Just like your teacher will help you with hard things whoever your learning with in the further will do the same.

All engineers work with both theoretical documents and practical tasks. Only one example: now, hardware and software are changed so fast that engineers must learn new devices and software for them regularly. It includes user manuals, decription of internal structure of devices, them software etc.
If an ingineer doesn’t it he or she becomes “obsolete” with the equipment.
