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.

Innovate, Create, Collaborate: Lessons from the Social Butterfly Social Care Magazine Project
About this initiative
“By the end of this workshop the participants will
• Understand how creative methods can enrich social care education and practice by fostering innovation, connection, and engagement and through exploring theor own creativity.
• Gain insights into student-staff collaboration, with reflections on the challenges and rewards of co-creating a digital magazine and reflect on their own collaborative practices.
• Learn how the creative approaches introduced can be adapted to social care settings, engaging people who use services and enhancing practice and think about other transferable skills learned.

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.
