Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the fundamentals of computer science
    • Show an understanding and deep knowledge of the concepts of computer science and mathematical formalisms used in the field of computer science
    • Solve exercises and computer problems by applying basic knowledge in the various disciplines of computer science
  • Manage IT projects
    • Creatively implement knowledge and expertise gained in the field of computer science.
    • Apply appropriate technological and scientific ICT approaches

    • Communicate a consistent and rigorous scientific argument, either orally or in writing

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students will be able to describe the fundamental principles governing the development of modern operating systems built in the form of successive layers. They can explain interactions between different components of operating systems and can solve synchronization problems more or less complex. 

Thanks to the practical part, they will be able to develop system programs in C in a UNIX environment.
