Course Outcomes (COs):
CO1: To verify, understand and apply the structural engineering concepts they learned by conducting simple experiments using benchmark experimental setups.
CO2: To develop simple experimental set ups using available resources by their own and conduct experiments to understand the mechanics involved in the problems that they come across in different fields of aerospace structural mechanics.
CO3: To develop the capability of using basic concepts for design of Aerospace structural com- ponents.
