The program provides IAS chapters the opportunity to invite and host lecturers by experts in their field of interest. These lectures can be in person or virtual, presenting on a topic within the area of expertise of the invited DL. The program offers a list of renowned, exceptional lecturers who each possess specialist knowledge within their field. In addition to their technical expertise, the lecturers are also longtime IAS volunteers. The DL/PL programs can be hosted by Chapters in noncommercial technical, leadership, or combined meetings and workshops of IAS single or joint Chapters as well as IAS Student Branch Chapters. The DL/PL program’s invited members should not be charged a registration fee, other than the fee charged for a meal during the event. The DL and PL presentations should be initiated by the local Chapter chair. The inviting Chapter chair should make preliminary arrangements directly with the lecturer through introductory correspondence and come to an agreement on the date, time, venue, and so on. Having decided, the invitee will submit a completed DL/PL travel request approval form to the DL program committee chair.

Because of the strict Iranian regime, girls were not allowed to ride bicycles nor play on the street. Springing forth from the need for having a way to pass time as a little kid, Alavi and her younger brother started taking on do-it-yourself projects in her home storage room, an incarnation of the famous proverb, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” One of these projects was building a four-wheel cart to carry the garbage bin from the kitchen to the street. “We had a big front yard and sending the heavy garbage bin to the street was difficult,” she explained. Alavi added, “Although the cart did not turn well, it was quite exciting to turn our idea into reality and see it in action.”","PeriodicalId":50390,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Industry Applications Magazine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138688410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
