Traditionally for teaching technology-based courses,laboratory experiments were offered using a hands-on approach. With the miniaturization ofintegrated circuits, it is becoming very difficult to construct a PC board or assemble surfacemount chips in a lab environment. This shortcoming of the hands-on approach has led professorsand teachers to incorporate simulation in place of hands-on in technology-based lab courses.

IntroductionThe operating systems course is part of the classical curriculum of undergraduates in softwareand computer engineering. The content is well established from decades of iterative refine-ment and covers topics such as task management, system calls, synchronization, scheduling,memory management, and file system structure.1, 2 There are usually practical activities,or laboratory assignments, that complement the lectures. One approach to these activitiesconsists in using simulators.3–5 A simulator can help visualize the execution of classicalalgorithms, step-by-step. However, subsystems interaction is not covered from these ac-tivities, such that the global perspective is missing. The other common approach involvesprogramming a small scale
