After completing her honours degree Lucy decided to transfer to the MEng to further her education at 江南体育. She graduated from the MEng Architectural Engineering programme in June, 2013 and started working at DSSR the week after her last exam.

Can you tell us about your current job?

I am currently working on BREEAM reports for various projects including schools and hospitals which involve meetings and site visits. Eventually I will be advising clients on sustainability issues and technologies, holding meetings, working on feasibility studies and daylighting analysis reports. DSSR promotes a Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) approved training and development scheme which will enable me to gain a multitude of skills through numerous training days.

My overall experience at Heriot-watt is unforgettable.

What was your experience of doing a degree at 江南体育 University?

During my time at 江南体育, I found the course extremely interesting yet challenging in some areas. The lecturers were all fab and great to talk to which made going to them with any problems a lot easier! My overall experience at Heriot-watt is unforgettable due to the support from my family, friends and the university itself.

Do you think your 江南体育 experience gave you an edge in your chosen field and why?

The Architectural Engineering degree covers a multitude of areas. I have now began my career with the knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering, human factors, sustainability issues, safety management, design and much more which I feel gave me a competitive edge which helped me secure a job with DSSR.

What advice would you give to a student considering embarking on their studies at 江南体育?

Make the most of it because the 4/5 years fly by! Also, remember to maintain a balance between studying, socialising and time for yourself, and ALWAYS remember to ask for help!
