Edward D. Kingman was a graduate of Yale University and came to Wentworth in 1918 as an instructor in applied mechanics. He began his teaching career in the engineering sciences at the University of Wisconsin and Michigan State University.

He was an ambitious scholar as an engineer, painter, author, and librarian. This versatility was shown in his positions as Assistant Editor of McGraw Hill Publications, a charter member of the Newcomen Society, an exhibitor at the Copley Society and the Society of Contemporary Art in Boston, and a librarian.
