  • My decision to participate in the IBA program was one of the best choices I made during my graduate career! For several reasons it has both given me a competitive edge in the job market as well as an extremely fun, intense and valuable learning experience. To begin, the scale of the project really necessitates teamwork, and this aspect makes you realize and appreciate the skill-sets of your co-workers in the industry before ever working within it. Secondly, the technical knowledge of working with large datasets from an initial, raw state to a cohesive and simplified final presentation and having an efficient timeline and workflow to do so prepares you beyond what school settings can. This was my first industry experience and my understanding of it has drastically increased during the 2 months of IBA. Lastly, IBA is most students' first experience in dealing with play/prospect risk analysis, and introduces them to the practical aspects of the science which they've been learning for the past 4+ years. In closing, I recommend anyone with a chance and being on an IBA team to do so, commit themselves to the 8 weeks and take away as much as possible!
