Usefulness of Differential Geometry?

[id the sloth]

My university is offering a Differential Geometry course next semester and while I am interested in the subject, I do not plan to take the class unless it has practical use for me. I have no interest in doing theoretical work. Does differential geometry serve any use to applied physics/engineering?

Not really.

For applied physics and engineering? Probably not a lot. It's a very interesting subject though, and it is the language of general relativity, so it might be worth it to take it if it interests you.
