Preparing for a co-op job interview (Comp. Eng.)?

I have a co-op interview coming up with a large robotics/aerospace company. Here's the responisibilities and requirements:

Responsibilities:

- Testing of Mission/Safety Critical ADA code
- Junior level software development in ADA.

Experience and Skills Required:

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Keen interest in the space industry
- High level of initiative and an ability to work independently.

The job description doesn't give any useful info such as what programming language the job involves... I am not very familiar with testing procedures and don't know what material to study for preparation.

I would appreciate any advise on preparing for my interview, mostly from the experienced individuals.

The language is Ada. Note capitalization. Named for Lady Ada Lovelace, considered to be amongst the first computer programmers. (google her). It is loosely based on Pascal, and thus ought to be a good language. It is said to differ in that it has a lot of provisions for exception handling (such as a divide by zero 10 seconds after ignition). Officially blessed by DOD and NASA. Now that you know the language, do some research on formal testing and verification methodologies. Good luck, by the way. Sounds like a gangbusters job.

I have posted an article "The 6 Most Frequently Asked Questions in Any Job Interviews" on my blog. These questions are:

1. Why Don't You Tell Me About Yourself?
2. Why Should I Hire You?
3. What Are Your Major Strengths?
4. What Are Your Major Weaknesses?
5. Why Are You Looking for This Sort of Position and Why Here?
6. How Does Your Previous Experience Relate to the Jobs We Have Here?
