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.

了解单板计算机在工程和计算机科学教育中的作用：系统文献回顾

在过去十年中，单板计算机 (SBC) 在技术和教育层面的工程和计算机科学 (CS) 中得到了更频繁的使用。由于多种因素，例如多功能性、低成本以及通过技术增强学习过程的可能性，这些设备对教育工作者和学生非常重要。然而，尚未详细探讨这些设备在工程和 CS 教育中的含义、可能性和限制。在这篇系统的文献综述中，我们探讨了 SBC 如何在工程和 CS 中使用，以及在 2010-2020 年期间在高等教育阶段的使用中产生了哪些教育成果。为此，从n中选择了 154 项研究 = 605 从学术数据库 Ei Compendex、Inspec 和 ERIC 收集。分析分两个阶段进行，例如确定应用领域、学习成果以及学生和研究人员的看法。评审结果主要体现在以下几个方面：（1）实验室与电子学习、计算教育、机器人、物联网、残疾人等领域集中了评审研究。(2) 研究人员强调了 SBC 对改变工程和 CS 课程的重要性，让学生通过实践活动的实验来学习复杂的主题。(3) 作者报告的典型认知学习成果是学生成绩的提高和课程主题的技术技能。
