Course outcomes:

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

1. Use the fundamentals of gas turbines and rocket propulsion.

2. Apply the basic cycles and theory of propulsion.

3. Distinguish types of propulsion and types of rocket fuels.

Question paper pattern:

The SEE question paper will be set for 100 marks and the marks scored will be proportionately reduced to 60.

The question paper will have ten full questions carrying equal marks.
Each full question is for 20 marks.
There will be two full questions (with a maximum of four sub questions) from each module.
Each full question will have sub question covering all the topics under a module.
The students will have to answer five full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
