Donald W. Dareing, PHD, PE - 2001
Half of Dr. Dareing's career has been in industry and half in academia. His industrial experiences range from research to overseas field operations. His academic experiences include teaching, research and administration. His industrial experience has been mainly in the petroleum area. Dr. Dareing's early industrial research (1964) included measurements of mechanical vibrations along drill strings. He used this data to develop mathematical models for predicting dynamic forces along drill strings and at the drill bit. This work has been a key reference for current drilling practices. Much of his university research has focused on lubrication of bearings using transfer films, powder slurry lubricants, and dry powder lubricants. As a department head at the University of Tennessee, he successfully led his department - which has three undergraduate programs (Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, and Engineering Science) - through the new ABET EC 2000 accreditation evaluation process.
