What exactly do you mean by GATE ?

My general answer is to challenge you to make a GATE, test it to failure, then identify the mode of failure. If it does not fail, build another GATE on a lower budget and break that by using it under normal operating conditions. Continue that process until you cannot reduce the cost and you will know the important subjects. A good engineer will do it all in her head.
