The Design And Construction Of A Radio Telescope, Avery Elizabeth Bunting, Kira Hope Tolman
Architectural Engineering
Two architectural engineering students and an electrical engineering student worked together to design and build a radio telescope that is capable of using hydrogen line astronomy to map the galaxy.
