The MINOS experiment uses the NuMI νµ beam to make precise measurements of neutrino flavor oscillations in the "atmospheric" neutrino sector. MINOS can also probe the yet-unknown neutrino mixing angle θ 13 by searching for a νe appearance signal in the νµ beam. This paper reviews the techniques developed for the first νe appearance analysis in MINOS.
