Engineering Science in Sport and Everyday Life

工程和科学往往在媒体上的形象不佳，肮脏和污染的工业形象和关于化学品，食品和环境的可怕故事。然而，现实远非如此。工程科学在社会中扮演着重要的角色，即使在没有技术投入的情况下，供暖，照明和家用电器都不会存在的家庭中也是如此。此外，近年来，快速发展的技术使生活质量更高。这种技术进步无处不在，在家庭、环境、交通和体育运动中。这个资深媒体奖学金将通过电视体育媒体来解决公众对工程科学的看法，并通过创造令人兴奋和引人入胜的教育节目来解决孩子们学习科学学科的热情。Peter Styring在雪地运动工程方面的声誉迅速增长，这已经得到了BBC看台高级制片人的认可。大家一致认为，他应该看看如何技术分析可以纳入流行的节目滑雪星期日，彼得将工程和科学概念的性能，技术和设备设计。第一个目标是为2007年在瑞典阿雷举行的FIS世界滑雪锦标赛提供技术分析，在正常的世界杯赛季到2010年2月的温哥华奥运会期间开发这一技术。此外，随着技术分析经验的发展，这将扩大到包括看台覆盖的其他技术运动，这也将增加目标受众。这将通过组建体育科学家和工程师网络得到加强，他们将对体育问题，特别是2012年伦敦奥运会的体育问题提供快速的技术反应，与体育主题平行的是教育主题，将为小学到中学的过渡制定科学方案。目标是制定能激发儿童想象力的方案，并激励他们在毕业后继续学习科学和工程。该计划将把工程科学的概念涵盖了国家课程的背景下，突出彼得的研究活动，但在日常情况下，如在家里，在学校或在玩。我们的目标是与英国广播公司协商，开发试点项目，然后考虑委托。此外，彼得将利用其他形式的媒体来促进他的研究和工程科学的普及。这将包括在当地电视台和电台播放新闻和一般性专题节目，并向印刷媒体投稿。彼得一直很幸运，能够与托尼瑞安教授，OBE谁是EPSRC高级媒体奖学金的第一个收件人咨询。这带来了一些新的媒体机会，并对成功的SMF所期望的内容表示赞赏。托尼在整个颁奖期间提供了帮助，实际上是一个非正式的导师。

Engineering and science often suffer from a poor image in the media, with images of dirty and polluting industries and scare stories about chemicals, food and the environment. However, reality is far from this preconception. Engineering Science plays a major if often silent role in society, even in the home where heating, lighting and domestic appliences would not have existed without technological input. Furthermore, rapidly advancing technologies have made the quality of life even greater in recent years. Such technological advances are all around us, in the home, the environment, in transportation and in sport. This Senior Media Fellowship will address the public's perception of Engineering Science through the medium of television sport and address the enthusiasm of children to study science-based subjects through the creation of exciting and engaging educational programmes.Peter Styring has a rapidly growing reputation in Snowsports Engineering and this has been recognised by the Senior Producer of Grandstand at the BBC. It has been agreed to that he should look at how technical analysis can be incorporated into the popular programme Ski Sunday, where Peter will relate engineering and science concepts to performance, technique and equipment design. The first objective will be to provide technical analysis for the 2007 FIS World Ski Championships in Are, Sweden, developing this during the normal World Cup seasons through to the Vancouver Olympics in February 2010. Furthermore, as experience develops in technical analysis this will be extended to include other technical sports covered by Grandstand, which will also increase the target audience. This will be enhanced by the formation of a network of Sports Scientists and Engineers who will be available to provide rapid technical responses to sporting issues, particularly at the 2012 London Olympic Games.Running parallel to the Sports theme will be the Education theme which will develop science programmes for the primary to secondary school transition. The objectives will be to make programmes that capture the imagination of children and inspire them to continue in science and engineering post-school. The programmes will put engineering science concepts covered by the national curriculum in a context that highlights Peter's research activities, but in everyday situations such as in the home, at school or at play. The objective will be to develop pilot programmes in consultation with the BBC which will then be considered for commissioning.Furthermore, Peter will use other forms of the media to promote his research and the popularisation of Engineering Science in general. This will include news and general interest features on local television and radio together with contributions to the printed media. Peter has been fortunate to be able to consult with Professor Tony Ryan, OBE who is the first recipient of an EPSRC Senior Media Fellowship. This has led to some new media opportunities and an appreciation of what is expected of a successful SMF. Tony has offered help throughout the duration of the award, acting in effect as an informal mentor.
