- The learning objectives of the "Operating Systems" course are to provide students with knowledge of the fundamental principles of operating systems, covering areas such as process management, memory, storage devices, and file systems. Students will develop the ability to analyze and solve problems related to the administration and configuration of operating systems, as well as to interpret system logs and optimize system performance. This course also aims to equip students with the skills to efficiently administer and monitor operating systems, apply security concepts, and adapt to different platforms and environments such as Windows, Linux, and others. As a result, students will be prepared to face the challenges of the job market, with a technical and critical understanding of the architecture, operation, and security of operating systems.
- Mandatory
- The course unit combines slide presentations and practical work, such as operating system installation, to integrate theory and practice. The slide presentations facilitate the understanding of theoretical concepts, while the practical work allows students to apply this knowledge in real-world scenarios, such as the installation and configuration of operating systems (Windows, Linux, etc.). This practical approach promotes the development of essential technical skills and problem-solving, ensuring active and interactive learning.
