Course outcome (Course Skill Set) At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
1. Apply the fundamentals of automata theory to write DFA, NFA, Epsilon-NFA and conversion between
them.
2. Prove the properties of regular languages using regular expressions.
3. Design context-free grammars (CFGs) and pushdown automata (PDAs) for formal languages.
4. Design Turing machines to solve the computational problems.
5. Explain the concepts of decidability and undecidability.
