This article delves into the application of virtual simulation technology in engineering mechanics education and its significant role in enhancing teaching effectiveness. By simulating actual engineering models, this technology provides students with a risk-free experimental environment to gain in-depth understanding of mechanical principles and solve complex engineering problems. Studies have shown that, compared to traditional teaching methods, virtual simulation significantly improves students' learning efficiency, practical skills, and innovation capabilities. This study showcases successful applications of virtual simulation technology in teaching through case analysis, and discusses potential challenges and corresponding strategies for implementing this technology. Despite initial high investment, technological adaptability, and maintenance challenges, strategic planning and resource allocation could enable virtual simulation technology to become a crucial supplementary tool in engineering education, providing strong support for the teaching and learning processes in engineering mechanics.
