Abstract
Engineering Mechanics is an important subject for science and engineering students in higher vocational colleges. The teaching quality of this course has a direct impact on subsequent professional courses. However, there has been a concern about the poor teaching effect of Engineering Mechanics in higher vocational colleges for a long time. In order to solve the problem and improve the teaching quality, this paper expounds some problems existing in the teaching of Engineering Mechanics in higher vocational colleges and proposes corresponding measures for these problems. Educators need to pay more attention to diversified assessment methods and the application of new technologies. Diversified examination methods can improve students’ enthusiasm in learning, while new techniques, such as finite element simulation, generate digital materials, making it easier for students to understand abstract concepts. The suggested measures are worthy of reference and should be applied flexibly in the teaching of Engineering Mechanics.
