University Looking to Update Old Hardware

I could not agree more. We have grad students who get their undergrad from other countries (their home) that emphasize theory and have no hands on who come here and have no idea what they are doing practically. I constantly come across students into their senior year who still don't grasp the difference between DC coupling and AC coupling on a scope and when to use the correct one when probing a circuit. Even when students can't get a circuit in a lab to work (if they are working outside the normal lab time) I force them to trouble shoot on their own first before running to me to fix it for them. But I am getting off topic.
