Script Realization for an Engineering Focused Narrative Television Series

工程其他-(59)作为提高技术素养，吸引更多年轻人从事工程职业，并为维持国家技术创新能力做出贡献的一种手段，美国国家工程院（NAE）工程教育奖学金促进中心（CASEE）设计了这个项目，以提高公众对工程作用的认识。本项目以最初的项目努力和取得的进展为基础：(a)为一部电视剧试播集编写两小时的电影剧本；(b)征求网络对播放试验计划的兴趣，以及选择正在制作的电视连续剧；(c)在系列的发展过程中，物色一家专业管理公司代表NAE的利益，作为工程界的代理人；(d)决定广播网络是否有兴趣根据试播集制作剧集；(e)建立资助者联盟以支持生产；(f)在工程界建立支持者联盟。

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.
