Page 1 of 4
The M.Sc. course in Engineering Geology was 12 month taught Master’s course. Individual M.Sc. projects ran from May to September and almost all projects were run with
an industry partner, typically consulting engineers. These projects typically had client meetings, scopes, problems and deliverable deadlines. Lucy effectively acted as
project manager; the industry partners had to be persuaded to give a student a project and have a good enough experience to want to offer repeat projects in subsequent
years. During her supervision of students, Lucy would act as a technical lead and mentor; providing advice, steering and guidance. Lucy marked these and other projects.
Several projects were strictly confidential and do not feature in this list.
