Colorado School of Mines (CSM) Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Established in 1874 in Golden, Colorado, the Colorado School of Mines is a public research university devoted to engineering and applied science. With broad expertise in resource exploration, extraction, production and utilization, “Mines” has distinguished itself by developing a curriculum and research program geared toward responsible stewardship of the earth and its resources. The tour will cover three main attractions: First, the Center for Welding, Joining and Coatings Research (CWJCR), housed in Nathaniel P. Hill Hall on campus. You will see first-hand the education and research programs on welding and joining-related topics at the Colorado School of Mines. You will tour several of the welding and materials testing laboratories in Hill Hall and Brown Building. The second stop will be the CSM Geological Museum, which houses a wide variety of geological and mineralogical specimens, including one of the State’s two Goodwill moon rocks. The museum serves as the state repository for Colorado’s mineral heritage. A brief third stop will be the U.S. Geological Survey, Golden Earthquake Center, where seismic activities worldwide are monitored. Duration: 08:00 to 13:00 on Monday (includes travel time). Actual time of tour is about 09:00 to 12:00. Restrictions: Limited to 35 people / Cost: U.S. $65.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Thursday, July 12, 2012
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a federal technology agency whose mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. A non-regulatory agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NIST has two major laboratory locations, one in Maryland, and the one in Boulder, Colorado (the subject of this trip). We will tour several of the materials testing laboratories (testing materials for applications such as pipelines and high-pressure hydrogen service) and the laboratory for more accurate time measurements (atomic clocks). Duration: 09:00 to 14:00 on Thursday (includes travel time). Actual time of tour is about 10:00 to 13:00 (including lunch in cafeteria). Restrictions: • Closed-toe shoes • No dresses or skirts • ID required: o U.S. citizens need to bring a driver’s license o Foreign nationals to complete NIST visit form, at least 2 weeks before the event o Foreign nationals must bring passports Capacity: Limited to 35 people / Cost: U.S. $65.
