Coding theory is a major component of Applied Algebra. It has many applications in the mathematics of communications and has many links with other scientific disciplines, such as electrical engineering and computer science. Coding theory arises in almost every imaginable digital communications and storage system. In UCD, it is taught at the undergraduate level in the module MATH30180 An Introduction to Coding Theory.

A Stain from the Sky is Descending – The role of Irish poetry in raising awareness of climate crisis
About this initiative
1. Promote and support the development of the requisite skills, knowledge and attitudes that help everyone to take action for a sustainable future and planet. 2. Explore the intertwining of sea and land in the Irish poetic tradition. 3. Discuss the infusion of Irish literature with what Montague (2009) referred to as global regionalism; the dialectic of ‘a sense of place and a sense of planet’ that characterises ecological thinking in the Anthropocene.

Looking Through the Green Lens
The newly formed UCD Library Green Group wanted to foster cross campus collaboration as they believed this would assist in realising their green goals. They saw the Learning Enhancement Project as a direct route to the student cohort who, motivated by their passion for the planet, would be willing to help the Library with this task.
Improving Access to Practical Elements of Environmental Engineering
In an applied subject – such as engineering – practical, hands-on learning opportunities are invaluable. Student and external examiner feedback has emphasised the value that students place on laboratory and practical classes, and the desire to incorporate more of these activities into the modules offered. This project focuses on two modules which are delivered simultaneously to two cohorts of students; in-person and online.
