Outcomes as regards to improvement in Communication Skills
Students are encouraged to work in small teams. Students are assigned an independent study of various OS
and CAliterature survey. Small presentations based on work carried out, will improve the communication
skills of the students.
Computer Usage / Lab Tool
As Computer Architecture and Operating System is the core course in computer science and engineering,
extensive lab sessions / case studies are required.
Laboratory Experiences:
Assignments based on:
Architectural designs and Process scheduling, Deadlock and Memory Management.
Independent Learning Experiences:
Tutorials based on:
Basic component of computer system and pipelining architecture as well as on I/O system and virtual
memory
