Know the equipment

• Bring PID of equipment!!!
• Be prepared to talk about how it works?
• What is measured with what instruments?
• What is the physics of instruments?
• How accurate are these instruments?
• How will measurement be used to verify the theory?

5
Know the Theory

• With the problem statement, what theory is
  needed?
• How are measurements going to be used to prove
  the theory being tested?
• How are the theory and measurements going to be
  used for the design aspect of the problem?

Error Analysis

• How will error analysis be performed on the data
  to verify the theory?
• Is the measurement equipment accurate enough for
  this test of the theory?
• What statistical test will you use to compare
  theory with experiment?
