A guest lecture on "Operating System" was organized by the Department of Computer Science & Engineering - Data Science (CSD) for second-year students on May 3, 2025, at KG Reddy College of Engineering & Technology. The event, which was attended by 61 students, was designed to introduce them to operating system concepts, including CPU scheduling, deadlock, and the design and development of operating systems.
The guest speaker was Mr. Kottu Santosh Kumar, an Assistant Professor from the Department of IT at Vardhaman College of Engineering, Hyderabad Mr.Kottu Santosh Kumar,Assistant Professor,Dept.of IT, Vardhaman College of Engineering, Hyderabad,,has been invited for the One Day Workshop. The session started with addressing the participants and introduction of the guest by Dr.Srinivas Jhade, Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering- Data Science.
The guest lecture on Operating Systems served as a valuable platform for students to deepen their understanding of fundamental concepts and their real-world applications. It was a well-structured session, starting from basic introductions and progressing to more specific topics like file system management and system calls. The event successfully met its objectives, preparing students to better understand the intricacies of operating systems and their role in computing
Impact on the students:
The guest lecture on Operating Systems had a notable impact on the students by providing them with a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts and their practical applications. Students were equipped with the ability to manage access to a computer and its files, demonstrating a solid grasp of core operating system functions. The session also enhanced their problem-solving skills, as a key outcome was the ability to "recognize and resolve user problems with standard operating environments".
Furthermore, the lecture provided valuable practical knowledge regarding the interaction between programming languages, operating systems, and computer architectures. This practical focus was particularly evident in the detailed discussion on File System Interface and Operations. The students were taught about various access methods, directory structures, protection, and allocation methods
