The study of operating systems requires an understanding of some of the fundamental concepts in computer science: concurrency, synchronization, deadlock, communication, and efficiency. The traditional method of lecture and reading does a disservice to students who are being exposed to these difficult concepts for the first time. Undergraduate computer science students need creative, innovative ways of learning these concepts in the context of the operating systems course. The future of computing is in distributed and parallel processing. The operating systems course is the best place to assure every computer science student receives a solid foundation in these fundamental concepts.The EOS operating system lab is designed to increase the number of ways a student has to learn major operating systems principles. Computer laboratory exercises actively involve students with concept- relevant programming and graphical simulations. The ease-of-use and graphical output of the lab applications encourage exploration of operating system subject matter and allow for a more effective teaching mode; that of directed discovery learning. The exercises developed for the EOS lab provide a high learning to coding ratio for programming assignments, and elucidate fundamental computer science concepts in an exciting, interactive manner through simulation. Assignments associated with the subject content of each lab are performed on the workstation and are submitted and graded through electronic mail.

操作系统的研究需要了解计算机科学中的一些基本概念：并发、同步、死锁、通信和效率。传统的讲授和阅读方法对第一次接触这些困难概念的学生来说是一种伤害。计算机科学专业的本科生需要在操作系统课程的背景下以创造性、创新的方式学习这些概念。 计算的未来在于分布式和并行处理。操作系统课程是确保每个计算机科学学生在这些基本概念上打下坚实基础的最佳场所。EOS 操作系统实验室旨在增加学生学习主要操作系统原理的方式。计算机实验室练习积极让学生参与概念相关的编程和图形模拟。实验室应用程序的易用性和图形输出鼓励对操作系统主题的探索，并允许更有效的教学模式；定向发现学习。为 EOS 实验室开发的练习为编程作业提供了较高的学习与编码比率，并通过模拟以令人兴奋的交互式方式阐明基本计算机科学概念。与每个实验室的主题内容相关的作业在工作站上完成，并通过电子邮件提交和评分。
