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.

About this initiative
The 2023 UCC Learning and Teaching Showcase provided a space to exchange ideas and approaches and to connect with colleagues in a collective discussion about all things learning and teaching related. The event featured panel discussions, lightning papers, and 76 poster presentations reflecting the variety of teaching practices evident in UCC under themes such as academic integrity, Universal Design for Learning, digital education, education for sustainable development, inclusive practice, etc. The event also featured a keynote presentation by Professor Randall Bass from Georgetown University on ‘the Forking Paths of the Learning Paradigm – What is the role of Education in a Transformative Future?’.

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.
