 opment (R&D) organizations in the United States. Founded in 1947\, SwRI pr
 ovides contract R&D services to industrial and government clients.\n\nSwRI
  consists of 11 technical divisions that offer multidisciplinary\, problem
 -solving services in a variety of areas in engineering and the physical sc
 iences. A partial listing of research areas includes antennas and propagat
 ion\; automation\, robotics\, and intelligent systems\; avionics and suppo
 rt systems\; bioengineering\; chemistry and chemical engineering\; communi
 cations systems\; corrosion and electrochemistry\; earth and planetary sci
 ences\; emissions research\; engineering mechanics\; fire technology\; flu
 id systems and machinery dynamics\; fuels and lubricants\; and pharmaceuti
 cals and drug discovery. Additional areas include\; intelligent transporta
 tion and connected/automated vehicles\; hydrology and geohydrology\; space
  science and engineering\; materials sciences and fracture mechanics\; mod
 eling and simulation\; nondestructive evaluation\; oil and gas exploration
 \; pipeline technology\; surface modification and coatings\; energy storag
 e systems\; and vehicle\, engine\, and powertrain design\, research\, and 
 development.\n\nSwRI’s headquarters occupy more than 2.4 million square 
 feet of laboratories\, workshops\, and offices on more than 1\,500 acres i
 n San Antonio. This tour will include a ride around the SwRI campus with l
 aboratory stops along the way.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Southwest Research Inst
