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.

Sustainability in Horticulture
About this initiative
The purpose of this project is to enhance the ecological, environmental and biodiversity skills of participants, to drive their understanding of the possibilities of digital technologies in terms of their discipline and deliver a programme which enables broad engagement. These subject areas are fundamental segments of Landscape sustainability education within the discipline of horticulture. Through the delivery of further the education to the general public, alongside the upskilling of horticulture industry professionals, we aim to drive a movement away from a reliance on traditional methods of horticulture production and landscape maintenance towards sustainability driven approaches which deliver on food/ornamental production and landscape/urban recreational space yet support, restore and enhance the natural environment.

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.
