The second lecture that was offered to us architecture students this quarter came from a representative of the Nation Council of Architectural Registration Board (NCARB). I'll be the first to say that it wasn't the most exciting lecture that I've been to but this guy presented us a lot of information that ultimately affects our future as architects. I really appreciated how he walked us through the Architectural Registration Exam (ARE). After checking out NCARB's website, I was able to find numerous study guides and practice tests to help prepare for the test (which will obviously help, come study time). Another thing that was talked about, was the Intern Development Program (IDP). IDP pretty much is a training program that was created so that interns (within the architecture profession) are able to gain the knowledge and skills that are required for independent practice. I was stunned by the total amount of hours that must be logged, in order to receive an architectural license. 5,600 total hours...WHAT THE HELL!!!!! But I must look at it within a good perspective range....it only helps me become a better me.
