I once visited a teaching lab that had introduced automation mainly for routine prep work, and the students were still required to learn manual methods first. The instructors said it gave them a better appreciation of what the machines were doing, so they could step in when something went wrong. That balance between automation and hands-on experience seemed to keep everyone more confident in the results.
