“…The analyses in the studies are performed mainly from a quantitative approach (13 proposals) with descriptive statistics, and five studies contrast hypotheses and effect size, employing t ‐test, analysis of variance, Cohen's d , and Pearson's correlation. With respect to these last inferential analyses, see the studies [52,71,87,99,118]. Two studies have a qualitative approach and one has a mixed approach that combines learning analytics and semi‐structured interviews to collect the information of the students.…”

In the last decade, single‐board computers (SBCs) have been employed more frequently in engineering and computer science (CS) at both technical and educational levels. These devices are of importance to educators and students due to several factors such as the versatility, the low cost, and the possibility to enhance the learning process through technology. However, the implications, possibilities, and constraints of these devices in engineering and CS education have not been explored in detail. In this systematic literature review, we explore how the SBCs are employed in engineering and CS and what educational results are derived from their usage in the period 2010–2020 at tertiary education level. For this, 154 studies were selected out of n = 605 collected from the academic databases Ei Compendex, Inspec, and ERIC. The analysis was carried out in two phases, identifying, for example, areas of application, learning outcomes, and students' and researchers' perceptions. The results of the review mainly indicate the following aspects: (1) The areas of laboratories and e‐learning, computing education, robotics, Internet of Things, and persons with disabilities gather the studies in the review. (2) Researchers highlight the importance of the SBCs to transform the curricula in engineering and CS for the students to learn complex topics through experimentation in hands‐on activities. (3) The typical cognitive learning outcomes reported by the authors are the improvement of the students' grades and the technical skills regarding the topics in the courses. Concerning the affective learning outcomes, the increase of interest, motivation, and engagement is commonly reported by the authors.

“…A key novelty of our work is that we build our range out of inexpensive credit-card sized Raspberry Pi single board computers (SBCs). The Raspberry Pi (Figure 1) is widely used for computing education, including introducing students to C programming [48], ARM assembly [22], IoT [49] and parallel computing [27]. Due to the limited computing power of early models of the Raspberry Pi, several researchers also began creating Raspberry Pi clusters [7,23,40].…”

Cyber ranges are an important tool for teaching cyber security techniques. However, setting up a cyber range for classroom use can be costly. Prior work on lowering the cost of cyber ranges focuses on open source solutions and virtual machines. Yet, these solutions do not reduce the cost of physical components-namely, the underlying hardware used to build the range. In this paper, we describe a prototype cyber range built out of Raspberry Pis, a type of inexpensive single board computer. To illustrate the functionality of the range, we use Docker and Docker Swarm to deploy a vulnerable web server across four Raspberry Pi nodes and assess it in an undergraduate classroom. Our cyber range costs under $250.00 to build and consumes less than 25 Watts of power. We open-source our materials and provide pre-built Docker images on Docker Hub to enable others to use our work. Our results suggest that cyber ranges built using Raspberry Pi clusters can lower cost and enhance cyber security education.

“…Access to computing laboratories allows professors to design specific educational dynamics to positively complement the contents of the courses of the Computer Science and Engineering programs [10] [11] [12]. Generally speaking, fabrication spaces (FabLabs, Hackerspace or Makerspace) allow the development of technical and technological skills through informal teaching and learning methodologies [13] [14].…”

In 2012 the Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica opened the Computer Engineering program at the recently created Centro Académico de Alajuela. At that time there were neither research space nor resources available for undergraduate students to practice problem solving by applying theoretical concepts to real life problems. The Laboratorio Experimental was proposed in mid 2013 as a research initiative where students and faculty could engage together in projects powered by low cost open hardware and free software. This article shares the experiences learned by the proponents of the lab and a detailed explanation of the projects, also describes the results of students academic experience.
