In the recently announced 15th National Zhou Peiyuan College Students' Mechanics Competition (Individual Event), students from our college achieved remarkable results, marking a historic breakthrough. Wu Honghao, a 2022 Civil Engineering major, won the National Second Prize (with a winning rate of only 1%), setting a new record for our university in the individual event of this competition.

The competition was held nationwide in late May this year, covering more than 500 universities and attracting 30,591 student participants, setting a record high in scale. In addition to Wu Honghao winning the national second prize, students from our college also secured 26 national third prizes and 66 excellence awards. Notably, the number of awardees from our college accounted for over one-third of the total provincial awards, highlighting the exceptional overall performance of our students.

The outstanding achievements stem from the college's long-standing emphasis on fundamental mechanics education and fostering students' innovative capabilities. Supported by the "Nanchang University Mechanics Application and Innovation Base" and the "Nanchang University Student Mechanics and Innovation Society," the Department of Engineering Mechanics consistently conducts daily training, simulation competitions, and scientific selection processes. The faculty team has dedicated efforts to teaching reforms and innovative training models, laying a solid foundation for breakthroughs in competitions.

The National Zhou Peiyuan College Students ' Mechanics Competition, an authoritative event sponsored by the Ministry of Education, aims to advance mechanics curriculum reform and cultivate top-tier innovative talents in higher education. This historic breakthrough in the individual competition stands as further evidence of our college's sustained progress in high-level mechanics competitions. In recent years, our college has consecutively won third prizes in the team category for two consecutive editions (the 13th and 14th) and has repeatedly claimed first prizes in individual, team, and group categories at the International Collegiate Engineering Mechanics Competition (Asian Division). These achievements signify the steady improvement in our college's mechanics teaching standards and students' innovative practical capabilities, which will significantly propel the reform of mechanics education and innovative talent cultivation under the new engineering education framework at our university.
