\noindent \textbf{Learning Outcomes}:
This course will examine the structure of modern operating systems and their associated components. There will be an emphasis on applying learned concepts to projects and assignments.
Upon completion of the course, students should understand how operating systems affect their applications and software projects. They should have an appreciation for the Unix Philosophy, operating system design, and systems programming. The following is an incomplete list of what students should be capable of after completing the course:
\begin{itemize}
\item Develop multiple process and multiple threaded applications
\item Program effectively using system calls
\item Program using inter-process communication
\item Understand the OS interrupt mechanism
\item Control concurrency and mutual exclusion using semaphores
\item Be very comfortable working from a command line interface
\item Build a virtual machine for a specific use
\end{itemize}
