An increasing number of students are seeking exposure to practice issues before they graduate from architecture school. The AIA has developed this site as a resource for students who wish to use the EPC to get a head start on their internship experience.

Remember, you must be enrolled in IDP in order to get credit for your work with the EPC.  However, you can use the EPC exercises while in school for university credit (if provided by your professor) or use it independantly to become familiar with practice issues in preparation for your internship. Contact your IDP Educator Coordinator to get started with IDP as soon as possible.

AIAS members recieve free access-just log in using your AIAS member number as the ID; your password is your last name.

Get People Excited About Learning!
If you are interested in sharing the EPC with your fellow students, consider hosting a lunch time session to tell them about it. To arrange for someone to come and speak at your school, contact idp@aia.org.

This EPC Frequently Asked Questions sheet provides a quick overview of the resource for EPC users.
