More missing the Boat — Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and small prototyping boards and engineering education needs them

In this work, we describe a range of prototyping boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone Black, and we show how these devices are being used in our ECE curriculum in a range of courses for projects. We describe the continuing challenges we have with adopting such technology from an educational standpoint, and some best practices/techniques we have learned and adopted to include these devices in our courses. We believe integrating these devices into our course flow is of a huge benefit to both our curriculum and our students.
