This Curriculum introduces students to processes, process states, process control blocks, swapping, scheduling, context switching, threads, and CPU management. Perfect for ICT, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Operating Systems courses, Diploma/TVET programs, and university-level CS modules.

This lesson uses clear diagrams, OS models, state-transition charts, tables, real-world examples, and step-by-step workflows to help students fully understand how processes operate within modern operating systems.
