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
SATLE Snapshots: Insights into a blended approach to SATLE Initiatives at DCU
About this initiative
An integrated approach to SATLE activity at DCU under three main themes of Digital Transformation, Education for Sustainable Development, Academic Integrity could best be facilitated and supported by leveraging the existing philosophy and modus operandi of the Teaching Enhancement Unit (TEU). Conscious of the need to respond to individual Faculty/School/Programme needs and to support those at different stages of the thematic journeys, the roles of Academic Integrity Officer, Education for Sustainable Development Officer and Learning Technology Analyst are based in the TEU. The work of the role holders has been a catalyst for creativity and development of practice [for more details see poster link].

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.
