- Abstract
Mechanics of materials is considered one of the most difficult introductory courses in undergraduate education in civil engineering. In order to improve students' learning interest and problem-solving ability, we have tried innovation in teaching mechanics of materials in civil engineering. In this paper, first, we present traditional teaching methods. Next, the problems in the current teaching of mechanics of materials are put forward. Finally, we provide insight into the use of various teaching approaches in mechanics of materials and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. We also introduce some engineering cases or examples suitable for mechanics of materials. All these approaches make the mechanics course full of vitality and make students like it. It provides instructors and researchers with the implications for instructional practices to prepare students for engineering practice in the future.
