工程力学是高等院校工科大学生的一门重要的技术基础课。它以工程实际结构中的构件（如杆、轴、梁、柱等）为研究对象，借助于力学分析、力学实验和力学计算来解决其受力与平衡、变形与破坏规律以及工程构件的承载力等实际的力学问题。通过本课程的学习，使得学生能够正确分析工程构件受力，确定其计算简图；熟练掌握工程结构中力系的合成与平衡的求解，正确计算工程构件各种载荷作用下的内力、应力和变形及其相应规律；能够从构件的强度、刚度和稳定性三方面来确定构件的承载能力。
工程力学课程是一门将力学知识理论与工程实际相结合的课程，课程知识体系既能直接应用于一些工程实际问题，还是机械原理、机械设计、结构力学、弹性力学等后续工科专业课程和从事专业技术工作必需的力学基础。该课程注重培养学生应用基本理论，提高对实际工程问题力学的分析计算能力，培养学生建立工程与力学的基本概念，是基础和专业、理论与实践的桥梁。
Engineering mechanics is an important technical foundation course for engineering students in higher education institutions. It takes components in actual engineering structures (such as rods, shafts, beams, columns, etc.) as the research object, and solves practical mechanical problems such as stress and balance, deformation and failure laws, and the bearing capacity of engineering components through mechanical analysis, mechanical experiments, and mechanical calculations. Through the study of this course, students can correctly analyze the forces acting on engineering components and determine their calculation diagrams; Proficient in the synthesis and equilibrium solution of force systems in engineering structures, and correctly calculate the internal forces, stresses, and deformations of engineering components under various loads, as well as their corresponding laws; The load-bearing capacity of components can be determined from three aspects: strength, stiffness, and stability.
The Engineering Mechanics course is a course that combines mechanical knowledge theory with engineering practice. The course knowledge system can be directly applied to some engineering practical problems, and is also a necessary mechanical foundation for subsequent engineering courses such as mechanical principles, mechanical design, structural mechanics, elastic mechanics, and professional technical work. This course focuses on cultivating students' application of basic theories, improving their analytical and computational abilities in practical engineering problem mechanics, and cultivating students to establish basic concepts of engineering and mechanics. It serves as a bridge between foundation and profession, as well as theory and practice.
