He has a BS in mining engineering and a BS in geological engineering from the University of Utah and an MS and PhD in mining engineering from the Pennsylvania State University. He has worked in industry, for a government agency, and at a national lab in addition to his academic appointments at Penn State and the Colorado School of Mines, where he has taught since 1981. Dr. King s scholarly work integrates automated measurement systems and modeling in a variety of subject areas including mobile robotics, automated regolith handling, bat-habitat microclimates, and automated mine equipment and systems. A recent success was accurate prediction of a structural failure in a NASA lunar excavator with a finite element model. Working with faculty colleagues and graduate students, Dr. King has written more than 150 publications and a textbook, Introduction to Data Acquisition with LabVIEW, 2nd Edition. Dr. King s work also includes the development of the award-winning Multidisciplinary Engineering Laboratory course sequence. In addition to automated measurement systems, the course focuses on enhancing thinking maturity, open-ended problem solving, self-learning, writing skills, and teamwork. Dr. King has taught more than 30 different courses in several disciplines during his 40-year academic career. The most recent course is an introductory finite elements course, called Computer-Aided Engineering.
