This paper examines the challenges faced by technical universities in cultivating scientific literacy among their students and proposes targeted strategies for improvement. Drawing on international practices and domestic research, it highlights four key obstacles: insufficient practical teaching resources, inadequate emphasis on innovation, limited proficiency in modern technology tools, and a lack of interdisciplinary collaboration. Corresponding solutions are proposed, including infrastructure enhancement, curriculum redesign, integration of digital competencies, and the establishment of interdisciplinary learning platforms. The study underscores the importance of a holistic and systemic approach to scientific literacy education in technical universities. By addressing these challenges through strategic interventions, technical institutions can better prepare students for the demands of contemporary and future professional landscapes.
