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.
Initiative
A Web-based Learning Platform for Climate Transition
About this initiative
The project introduced students from diverse subject areas to the Net Zero climate transition through online and interactive learning. It delivered expert-led workshops, educational materials, and hands-on tutorials covering climate-transition challenges, opportunities, data collection, and web scraping. A database of real-world climate-action data and a web-based platform for processing, visualising, and analysing complex datasets were also developed. Together, these activities strengthened students’ critical thinking, analytical reasoning, collaborative problem-solving, and practical data skills.

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.
