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.

工程和科学在媒体上经常遭受较差的形象，肮脏和污染的行业以及有关化学物质，食品和环境的恐吓故事。但是，现实远非这一见解。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，也不会存在供暖，照明和家庭应用的家中。此外，迅速发展的技术使近年来的生活质量变得更大。这样的技术进步在我们周围，家庭，环境，运输和体育运动中。这项高级媒体奖学金将通过电视运动的媒介来解决公众对工程科学的看法，并通过创建令人兴奋和引人入胜的教育计划来研究基于科学的主题的热情。PeterStyring在Snowsports工程中的声誉迅速增长，这在BBC的高级代表台上被BBC的高级生产商认识到了这一点。已经同意，他应该研究如何将技术分析纳入流行的计划Ski Sunday，彼得将在其中将工程和科学概念与性能，技术和设备设计联系起来。第一个目标是为2007年的FIS世界滑雪锦标赛提供技术分析，是瑞典，在2010年2月的正常世界杯赛季中发展到温哥华奥运会。此外，随着技术分析的经验的发展，这将扩展到范围内，以包括看台的其他技术运动，也将增加目标受众，这也将增加目标受众。由体育科学家和工程师网络组成的网络将得到增强，这些网络将可以为体育问题提供快速的技术响应，尤其是在2012年伦敦奥运会上。与体育主题并行的是教育主题，该主题将开发针对中学到中学过渡的科学计划。目的是制定捕捉儿童想象力的计划，并激发他们继续在学后的科学和工程学。这些计划将使国家课程涵盖的工程科学概念在强调彼得的研究活动的情况下，但在日常情况下，例如在家庭，学校或玩耍。目的是与英国广播公司（BBC）协商制定试点计划，然后将其考虑进行调试。Furthermore，Peter将使用其他形式的媒体来促进他的研究和一般的工程科学的普及。这将包括当地电视和广播中的新闻和一般兴趣功能，以及对印刷媒体的贡献。彼得很幸运能够与OBE教授托尼·瑞安（Tony Ryan）教授进行磋商，后者是EPSRC高级媒体奖学金的第一位接受者。这导致了一些新的媒体机会，并对成功的SMF的期望得到了赞赏。托尼在整个奖项期间都提供了帮助，实际上是非正式导师。
