Behavioral Technical
I reached out to my current PI, who taught the food microbiology class I took as an undergrad, to see if I could join his lab as a master's student. He initially declined but then discussed his future research plans for master's students. He was really enthusiastic about his work and explained the research concepts clearly. He was understanding when I mentioned needing financial assistance and having no prior lab experience. Thankfully, he accepted me into his lab with sponsorship.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
So I talked with the lab director and a Ph.D candidate. Mostly they asked me about my past projects. Then, they asked me about my experience with energy engineering. I also went on an industrial audit site visit with the lab crew and they asked me about that experience, like what I might have done differently.
