Abstract

Engineering mechanics is as a basic course, and the learning effect of this course directly affects the learning of subsequent professional courses. However, the teaching quality of engineering mechanics in vocational colleges has been subpar for a long time. In this study, we explored the teaching situation of engineering mechanics by using questionnaires, pointing out the challenges faced in the teaching of engineering mechanics and putting forward four targeted suggestions, which include stimulating students’ interest and increasing the investment in laboratory equipment, to improve the teaching quality. The findings of this study may provide some reference for the teaching reform of engineering mechanics.
