Some schools are strong on theory and very weak on
application.
The student is expected to choose a "project" (often
without knowledge
of the possible, what is hard and what is easy, etc) and
use that to learn
about application of theory.

I had a student in Junior Circuits Lab (late '60s) from the
middle east who had studied in the middle east for his
first two college years. He had, believe, gone to one of
the "American Universities". He knew theory well, but had
no concept of cause and effect. He could not tell you what
happened in a simple transtor circuit or even a diode, for
that matter, but could quote h-parameter relationships. Not
sure that this is the issue here, but I'd bet its related.
