The theories you learn during the 4 years definitely help. It specially becomes useful when you are dealing with huge amount of data processing , then big O notations , difference between order of n and n square etc comes to aid . For N engineering software sometimes we had to deal with models containing millions of triangles , and to efficiently show the models you had to have a good grasp of the theories you learnt and I doubt whether someone without these concepts would be able to do that !
