其他工程--(59)为了提高技术素养，吸引更多的年轻人投身工程事业，并为维持国家的技术创新能力做出贡献，美国国家工程院(NAE)工程教育奖学金促进中心(CASEE)设计了这一项目，以提高公众对工程作用的认识。该项目以以下方面的初步项目努力和进展为基础：(A)为电视连续剧试播编写一个两小时的电影剧本；(B)征求网络对播放试播和选择正在进行的电视连续剧制作的兴趣；(C)指定一家专业管理公司代表NAE的利益，作为系列剧制作的代理；(D)在试播的基础上确定广播网络对制作连续剧的兴趣；(E)建立一个资助者联盟以支持制作；以及(F)在工程界建立一个支持者联盟。

Engineering Other - (59) 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) has designed this project effort to increase public awareness of the role of engineering. This project builds upon initial project efforts and progress made by: (a) developing a two-hour movie script for a television series pilot; (b) soliciting network interest in broadcasting the pilot and optioning the on-going production of a television series; (c) identifying a professional management firm to represent the interests of NAE as a proxy for the engineering community as the series is developed; (d) determining broadcast network interest in the production of a series based upon the pilot; (e) building a coalition of funders to support production; and (f) building a coalition of supporters in the engineering community.
