- The School of Computing due to launch
two New Programmes: (5th December '02)
The School of Computing has decided to launch two new
programmes, a full-time M.Sc. in Bioinformatics (in collaboration
with the School of Biotechnology at DCU) and a part-time
delivery of our M.Sc. in Electronic Commerce (in collaboration with
the DCU Business School). We hope both will launch in October 2003
but before then the proposed programmes need to be validated and
accredited by the University. More news on this will follow later.

- 2002 Enterprise Ireland/Ulster
Bank student awards: (20th October '02)
One of the MEC practicum teams receive an award of EUR2000
in the 2002 Enterprise Ireland/Ulster Bank student awards.
The team members are: Janice Byrne, Declan Grogan, Denise Masterson,
Ronan Murphy and Ingrid Simmonson.
Their idea is 'Tellus' - an online supply chain management tool
which allows agricultural traders/merchants to source their produce
directly from individual producers - thus bypassing the middleman.
Traders can post their specific product requirements online and
suppliers can post their stock availability thus enabling a reduction
in time and costs for both parties.
