Mechanics is one of the foundations of modern engineering, especially for mechanical engineering. The requirement of engineering technology has driven the development of mechanics, correspondingly the development of mechanics has promoted the progress of engineering technology.
Starting from the development and connotation of mechanical engineering, this course guides the freshmen to establish the relationship between mechanical engineering and mechanics. In order to improve students' professional basic learning interest, mechanical problems in typical modern engineering technology are introduced and discussed. Based on teacher's research experience, the way to solve the professional problems is introduced to cultivate students’ ability of engineering problems and the ability to use knowledge to solve practical engineering problems from the view of scientific analysis.
The course is carried out by case study. Each session includes pre-class questions, student group preparation, presentations, discussion, teacher comments and systematic teaching.
