dc.description.abstract	This paper presents low cost laboratories that aim to enhance the teaching of electrical and electronic engineering. The laboratories have been designed and developed based on the Raspberry Pi microprocessor system and are aimed at exposing students to the integration of software and hardware in electrical engineering in addition to ensuring that students appreciate the theoretical foundations of areas such as digital signal processing and instrumentation. The paper describes the laboratory exercises developed. Feedback from students was collected and analysed. The positive response shows the effectiveness of this approach in teaching electrical and electronic engineering.	en_US
