The International Engineering Mechanics Contest was jointly initiated by several universities in the Russian Federation in 2005. Since 2018, the Organizing Committee has authorized Hohai University to host the contest in the Asian Region. This year’s competition drew 597 outstanding students from 68 universities, including Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, and Tongji University. The contest, featuring both individual and team formats, was conducted entirely in English, providing a comprehensive assessment of the students’ mastery of mechanical theory and their ability to integrate complex mathematical knowledge.
