Abstract: China Undergraduate Physics Tournament ( CUPT) has been held for 10 times since 2010. Nowadays，

this tournament has become an important capacity training， scientific research training and academic exchange

platform for undergraduates majoring in physics. In this article， it is demonstrated that the CUPT could effectively

promote the students who attended CUPT to master various of application software，expands their learning and exploration

and carries out scientific research by analyzing the information of the using of tool software， the physical

branch disciplines involved，and the results related to tournament. In addition， the development of CUPT at Northwest

University and its role in enhancing students' autonomous learning and research capabilities are also described.

Key words: China Undergraduate Physics Tournament, tools software, undergraduate research training
