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
Decolonization of Teaching & Learning in Higher Education: Contemporary Perspectives on Working with Students from Different Social, Cultural and Political Backgrounds
About this initiative
1. Underpinned by the main theories, principles and concepts, arrive at a shared understanding of the meaning of decolonization in higher education and why this is important for T&L and assessment specifically in the context of SETU. 2. Develop and demonstrate the application of appropriate practical strategies for including principles of decolonization in our teaching, learning, assessment and pedagogical approaches. 3. Critically examine and iterate the practical strategies for decolonization which have been developed. 4. Develop the skills to assess our own teaching and learning practice, and make theoretically informed decisions about when and how to apply appropriate decolonialization approaches.

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.
