Engineering Science in Sport and Everyday Life

工程和科学经常受到媒体形象不佳的影响，媒体上有肮脏和污染行业的图片，以及关于化学品、食品和环境的耸人听闻的故事。然而，现实远非如此先入为主。工程科学在社会中发挥着重要的作用，即使往往是沉默的，即使在没有技术投入就不会有供暖、照明和家用电器的家庭中也是如此。此外，近年来，快速发展的技术使生活质量变得更高。这样的技术进步无处不在，无论是在家庭、环境、交通还是在体育运动中。这项高级媒体奖学金将通过电视体育媒体阐述公众对工程科学的看法，并通过创作令人兴奋和引人入胜的教育节目来解决儿童学习以科学为基础的科目的热情。Peter Styring在雪上运动工程学方面的声誉迅速增长，这一点已得到BBC大看台的高级制片人的认可。大家一致同意，他应该研究如何将技术分析纳入受欢迎的节目滑雪星期日，在该节目中，彼得将把工程和科学概念与性能、技术和设备设计联系起来。第一个目标将是为2007年在瑞典阿尔举行的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发展这一技术。此外，随着技术分析经验的发展，这将扩大到包括大看台所涵盖的其他技术运动，这也将增加目标受众。将通过建立体育科学家和工程师网络来加强这一点，他们将提供对体育问题的快速技术反应，特别是在2012年伦敦奥运会上。与体育主题平行的将是教育主题，它将为小学到中学的过渡制定科学计划。其目标将是制定激发儿童想象力的方案，并激励他们在课后继续从事科学和工程工作。这些计划将把国家课程涵盖的工程科学概念放在突出彼得研究活动的背景下，但在日常情况下，如在家中、在学校或在游戏中。其目标是与英国广播公司协商制定试验计划，然后考虑投入使用。此外，彼得还将利用其他形式的媒体来推广他的研究和工程科学的普及。这将包括地方电视台和电台的新闻和一般兴趣专题，以及对印刷媒体的投稿。Peter有幸咨询了OBE教授Tony Ryan，他是EPSRC高级媒体奖学金的第一个获得者。这带来了一些新的媒体机会，以及人们对成功的SMF的期望。托尼在整个颁奖期间一直提供帮助，实际上是一名非正式的导师。

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.
