IPD4000 Industrial Exposure and Professional Development Online 0 Students must complete a minimum of 120 participation day or equivalent, cumulatively for IEPD 2000 and IEPD 4000. While this is a minimum requirement, students will be obligated to participate in additional Industrial Exposure and Professional Development (IEPD) activities once the opportunities are available. Students are required to submit to the HoD a report after every IEPD activity using the prescribed form. Students can, on their own initiative, engage in IEPD activities and claim credit. The department, however, will assume full responsibility for ensuring enough opportunities are provided for students.
