Interviews for Industrial Coverage Groups?

Hey guys. I'm a sophomore non-target getting ready for 2020 recruiting. I decided a couple of months that I am most interested in working in industrials. I like the longevity of their business models and the vital role industrial companies play in our economy. I am hoping to get on some calls soon with bankers. I have one strong connection that could lead to an interview. I've been mocking heavily to prepare. My mock interviews have been with juniors and seniors at my school who either have SA or FT offers lined up this summer with some of the best EB and BB. Some of the guys interviewed with the groups I'm interviewing with and said the interviews are very Working Capital/CAPEX/Accounting heavy. This makes senses because industrials is obviously a very capital intensive business. Do you guys have any insight on unique questions that came up in industrials interviews? Any recommendations for specific things to study and become fluent on? Thank you!
