Industry Projects
Our projects are designed by experts in the industry to reflect industry standards. By working through our projects, Learners will gain a practical understanding of what they will take on at a larger-scale in the industry. In total, there are 2 Projects that are available in this program.
Creating a Customized Linux Shell
- The project is for the learners to create their own custom Linux Shell.
- The implementation of all Linux system commands is not mandatory for this project.
- However, this custom shell should implement at least three commonly used Linux commands.
- From this project, the students will understand how shell creates a child process and replace its child's PCB with a new program that needs to be executed.
Calculating the Median of a Huge Float Array
- This project is for the learners to calculate the median of a Huge float array.
- Learners already know about filesystems from the previous sessions.
- This project resembles one of the file systems called HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) using map reduction to perform huge calculations.
