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. The telescope is made entirely out of aluminum, which, combined with small deflection limits, made for an iterative design process that focused primarily on constructability and supporting the desired outcomes of the electrical side.
