As a means to enhance technological literacy, attract more young people to careers in engineering and contribute to the sustainment of the national capacity for technological innovation, the Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE) of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) seeks to increase public awareness of the role of engineering. Specifically, this project builds upon prior experience with previous workshops that have explored the representations of engineers and engineering in films and television in order to advance the implementation of a "prime-time" commercial television series that highlights the positive roles of engineers in modern society. This project will plan, organize, and convene a forum wherein 12 experienced producers, writers, and directors will devote one and one-half days to discussion of key questions which will determine the viability of attaining an engineering focused narrative television series.

为了提高技术素养，吸引更多的年轻人从事工程职业，并为维持国家技术创新能力的维持，这是国家工程学院奖学金教育奖学金（CASEE）（NAE）的促进中心，旨在提高公众对工程作用的认识。具体而言，该项目基于先前的研讨会的先前经验，这些研讨会探讨了电影和电视中的工程师和工程学的表现，以推动实施“黄金时段”的商业电视连续剧，该电视节目突出了现代社会中工程师的积极作用。该项目将计划，组织和召集一个论坛，其中12位经验丰富的制片人，作家和董事将花费一分半天的时间讨论关键问题，这将决定获得以工程为中心的叙事电视连续剧的可行性。
