Operating Systems: Course Objectives

This document outlines an operating systems course for second year engineering students, with a focus on understanding core OS concepts like processes, threads, virtual memory, and concurrency. The course aims to help students describe modern OS design principles, distinguish different styles of OSes, and understand functions like I/O management, virtual memory, process scheduling, and inter-process communication. By the end, students will be able to evaluate OS security risks and the role of OSes in security.
