Part 1: Who We Are

Force is the source of motion,  the initiator of change. From the millennial water management wisdom of Dujiangyan to the steel structural marvel of the Bird's Nest; from the skyward thrust of the Long March rocket to the cross-sea majesty of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge; from large aircraft breaking aerodynamic limits to submersibles conquering  the  ten-thousand-meter  abyss, Engineering Mechanics has always been the invisible wings forging national key projects. It supports traditional fields like construction machinery and aerospace, while also expanding  territories  in  frontiers like smart materials and biomedical engineering, using the power of science to decipher engineering codes.

The Engineering Mechanics major at   Nanchang    University, supported by   national-level experimental teaching   platforms and a first-level  doctoral  program  in Mechanics, focuses on major national strategic needs. It offers three main directions: Computational Mechanics and  Aerospace,   Intelligent Manufacturing Mechanics, and Intelligent Construction Mechanics, constructing a "Mathematical Foundation - Intelligent Empowerment - Engineering Soul" trinity cultivation system. Here,  we  will guide  you to deconstruct the laws of  all things with equations, measure the scales of heaven and earth with formulas,  and explore material limits in virtual simulation labs. Join us, let the light of mechanics illuminate the future of intelligent manufacturing, and together forge the technological backbone supporting the construction of a strong nation.
