 COURSE INTRODUCTION

To address the issues we are currently facing due to this pandemic global health
crisis, we have been designing the following modules for the course Operating Systems. The
goal is to meet the needs of students to maintain interest and promote critical thinking in
this course. The modules presented are designed to lay the groundwork to students, giving
understanding of operating systems.

The course provides students with a background on the fundamental concepts that
governs the architecture, design and implementation of an operating system. The course
shall enhance awareness of the student on process management, storage management,
and file system concepts applicable to modern operating systems. A practical “hands-on”
component will develop essential skills to install, and use various operating systems from
desktop to mobile operating system. Furthermore, students shall be familiarized with the
commands and shell scripting using a UNIX like operating system, at the end of the term
students will have an opportunity to use Android Studio to create simple Android
applications.
