In 1943, his parents moved to Rapid City, South Dakota, where he completed grade school and high school. After graduating from Rapid City High School in 1951, he entered the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in geological engineering in 1955.

Maurie was a truly dedicated teacher in the broadest sense, one who inspired countless young extractive metallurgists and mineral processing engineers in their earliest careers, mentoring not only his own former students but other young engineers in industry. His impact in teaching was recognized nationally by the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME)

He pioneered the use of X-rays to determine the concentration of solids in a slurry during the thickening process. When he moved into the investigation of flotation principles, he and his graduate students showed in an unambiguous way how metal ion hydrolysis and the formation of insoluble surface compounds control the flotation of various metal oxides and silicates.
