All the questions were scenario based but if you know the theory you can answer everything. I have been asked to describe how I would design a very simple system and starting from that Ive then been asked questions like "what if". So what if the sensor breaks? then you should answer what to consider in the design stage (so a mean of redundancy for critical component and what type of redundancy).
