The Engineering Mechanics course has great significance in vocational education as it affects the quality of subsequent specialized courses, such as mechanical design, control technology, and automation. However, the teaching quality of Engineering Mechanics in vocational colleges has been subpar due to the extensive knowledge points, abstract concepts, complex formulas, and other factors. This paper aims to elucidate the early-stage research conducted by scholars and analyze the primary issues in the teaching of Engineering Mechanics. Furthermore, we provide five concrete suggestions to improve the teaching quality of this course. The findings of this study may serve as a reference for innovating the teaching model of Engineering Mechanics in vocational colleges.
