Course Outcomes (COs):
CO1: The student should be able to decide on the kind of optical or laser based diagnostic method- ology 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.
