Course Outcomes (COs):
CO1: The student should be able to decide on the kind of optical or laser based diagnostic methodology that needs to be implemented for the investigation of the combustion system of interest.
CO2: The student will be having awareness in deciding the different components and specification of the laser diagnostic system required.
CO3: The student will be able to better understand and appreciate peer reviewed literature/reports where optical and laser diagnostic methods are used for investigations.
CO4: The student should be able to write scientific reports with good analysis of the experimental data and discuss on the limitations of the methods used.
