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.
Initiative
SDG focused cross-venue MATLAB education
About this initiative
Engineering Computing, a core module at TU805 Engineering General Entry programme introduces programming concepts using MATLAB (high-level numerical-computing environment).
The module learning and assessment activities will be modified to incorporate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and sustainability concepts to demonstrate the relevance of (MATLAB) programming skills in addressing global sustainability challenges.
Structuring, timing and collaboration aspects in engineering education will be explored to identify best practices. A game-inspired flexible module delivery model will be developed for multi-venue and multi-mode delivery. The aim is to (a) enhance learning experiences, sustain engagement and encourage continuous learning and (b) create a delivery model that could be easily deployed beyond this module/programme and used in modules delivered cross-campus by a number of lecturers/staff.
