This week's crossword puzzle was created to highlight a specific engineering school located
in the southern hemisphere. Clues with an asterisk (*) next to them are related directly to
the honored school. All of the rest of the clues and words are pulled from a hand-built dictionary
of people, places, things, and actions that pertain to the topics of science, engineering,
mathematics, physics, astronomy, etc. You will never find the name of a fashion designer,
Prime Time television show, or numbnut celebrity. Enjoy!
