Abstract:  Vibrations and waves are common motions in nature. “Simple harmonic oscillation” is the most fundamental and simplest vibration, and is the basis for studying all complex vibrations. This article conducts research on the teaching task of “simple harmonic oscillation” from the perspective of engineering students, and conducts research and analysis on the connection between “simple harmonic oscillation” and students’ majors, as well as the core issues that students focus on. The purpose of this study is to focus on the application prospects of students’ knowledge points in interdisciplinary fields. The similarities and differences of students from different professional backgrounds on this selected topic will be discussed in detail. It also provides a deep analysis of the difficulty, question types, and preparation strategies that students generally care about in exams. Ultimately, this article puts forward teaching advice, including the design of differentiated teaching content, the reinforcement of practical activities, and the continuous optimization of teaching feedback, with the aim of constructing a teaching model which is student-centered and gives equal emphasis to theory and practice.

Key words:  college physics, simple harmonic oscillation, professional background, teaching advice
