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 aim of the objective is to; 1. Create a learning activity that develops digital skills of both our academic team and our student community. 2. Develop specific digital skills not currently offered in this way. 3. Use technology in a fun and practical way. 4. Create an output which is of value to students/staff across all campuses – wellness podcast. 5. Work with EDI to see where we can use this resource to promote positive mental health. 6. Work with EDI team to ensure inclusivity is factored into all aspects of this project. 7. Review impact of LEP and disseminate data/insights. 8. Embed positive learnings into teaching and learning strategies.

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.
