Features: "Engineering Physics Tutorial (Volume 1, 3rd Edition)" and "Engineering Physics Tutorial" (3rd Edition) were developed through 10 years of continuous research, trial use, and repeated revisions based on the 2nd edition. They are suitable for both teachers in organizing instruction and students in self-study and reading. The book is based on the fundamental theories, concepts, and research methods of classical and modern physics, with some developments and updates. It selects content from a modern perspective, organically integrating new achievements in science and technology and the application of physical principles in engineering into relevant parts of the book (two organic integrations), highlighting the modernization of the textbook and the characteristics of engineering physics. Additionally, bold explorations and attempts have been made in stimulating students' innovative spirit, reforming exercises and assignments, and enhancing the operability and engagement of the textbook, bringing fresh ideas and features. The entire book is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 includes three parts: Introduction, Mechanics, and Electromagnetism, while Volume 2 includes three parts: Thermodynamics, Waves, and Modern Physics. The book uniformly adopts the "Legal Metrological Units of the People's Republic of China" and the national standard "Units and Quantities" implemented in 1994, as well as the "Nomenclature of Physics" published in 1996.
This tutorial, along with its supplementary materials such as "Engineering Physics Major Assignments," "Solutions and Selected Exercises for Engineering Physics Tutorial," and "Teacher's Reference Book for Engineering Physics Tutorial," as well as electronic lesson plans, can serve as teaching materials for university physics courses in engineering (undergraduate) programs in ordinary universities, adult higher education, and distance education institutions, covering 116 to 140 hours of instruction. They can also be used as main reference books for self-study exam preparation courses and candidates for self-study exams. Furthermore, they are suitable for candidates applying for postgraduate studies, as well as engineering technicians, university and secondary school teachers, and administrative officers.
