The topic of the course is "OS Practicum". The history is that although I took an OS course in grad school, after I graduated and started working, I actually read the Unix source code and realized that I hadn't actually learned how an OS works. It was only through working with the code hands-on that I really understood it, and I came to realize that many of my colleagues who didn't actually hack OS code didn't really understand it either.
At UT today neither our undergrad nor our grad OS course requires hacking OS code, even in a simulator. This course is intended to make up the deficit.
