  • IBA was the best academic experience I had in graduate school for several reasons. Firstly, it helped me see the value of teamwork in a challenging situation. Everyone has to work in a team at some point in their academic career but never to this level. Working on the IBA project made me realize that an individual could not complete the work required to excel at the task at hand but rather a team could succeed by cooperating and contributing to a common goal while focusing on individual pieces of the project. This has led me to be open about the advice and guidance that I’ve been given since then, which I believe has made me more successful. Secondly, IBA looks great on a resume, the experience you get in IBA is hard to replicate in a classroom. Companies know that and having IBA on your resume makes you stand out among a crowd of other applicants. It is hard work and long hours, but at the end of the day it is well worth it if you put forth a product that makes your team proud. Finally, the absolute number one reason you should do IBA is because it is the best way to experience a career in energy. Since doing IBA I’ve had the pleasure of interning in Houston, an internship that I most likely got because of my IBA experience. I can honestly say I would have been half as prepared for my internship had I not done IBA. Examples are from small things such as being able to use industry terminology correctly and fluidly in a conversation to overall arching principles such as how to begin evaluating prospects and the work flow that goes into a prospect from beginning until end. I learned more about the petroleum industry in one semester of competing in IBA than my entire undergraduate/graduate education combined. That’s why everyone interested in a job in the petroleum industry should be fighting for a spot on an IBA team. It’s the most real and rewarding experience you will have before you graduate.
