The transition from traditional chalkboards to digital whiteboards represents a significant evolution in the pedagogical tools used in engineering education. This study explores the effectiveness of digital whiteboards in enhancing conceptual clarity among first-year engineering students. Drawing on data from a mixed-method study conducted across three engineering colleges, the research evaluates learning outcomes, student engagement, and retention rates associated with digital whiteboard integration. Key findings indicate improved understanding of core engineering concepts, higher student participation, and greater teacher-student interaction. Graphs and tables illustrate the comparative learning gains, while real classroom images demonstrate usage patterns. The study concludes that digital whiteboards, when employed effectively, significantly elevate the quality of engineering education.
