Hello /sci/ I'm trying to leave the jobless life and I'm hoping you can help me.

I graduated recently with a BS ChemE which didn't touch much on electrical engineering. I have a job interview coming up which will have assessment tests on "electrical, mechanical and automation engineering." I'm looking to brush up and learn as much stuff as I can to do well on these assessments. This is a trainee position so I'm sure they don't expect me to be a genius on any of these subjects but I need to at least know some basic concepts.

The job title in specific is "Field Service Engineer Trainee," and from the initial interviews I've had it seems to be vastly focused on real life mechanical issues rather than theory.

I've started reviewing what I learned on basic electrical components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc), both on what they're made of and how they function within a circuit. I've also begun learning ladder logic and the basics of PLC programming. I've already learned a bit about PID controls from my degree.

Main question: does /sci/ have any suggestions for crash course lessons on basic EE, mechanical concepts, and automation engineering? Do you have an idea of what kind of questions an entry level trainee may be asked as interview questions on those topics?
