Prof. Dr. Donald E. Scott Sagnac Award 2012

Short Biography Living in Scottsdale near Phoenix Earned his Master of Electrical Engineering at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT. Worked for General Electric in Schenectady, NY, and Pittsfield, MA. Earned his Doctorate in Electrical Engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, Massachusetts Taught at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Massachusetts / Amherst from 1959 until his retirement in 1998

Academic career During his time at UMASS Amherst he was the recipient of several good-teaching awards. Served as Assistant Department Head, Director of the undergraduate program, Graduate admissions coordinator, and Director of the College of Engineering's Video Instructional Program. Book: An Introduction to Circuit Analysis – A Systems Approach (1987)

Don Scott – The Sailor

The Amateur Astronomer Build his first decent scope in high school. Nowadays he uses two scopes: one for looking, one for imaging. When looking through the eyepiece of almost any amateur telescope it is rare that any color is perceived in any celestial object. That is because the human eye's rod and cone cells do not integrate the light they see. On the other hand, a digital camera will integrate the light entering it over time - the longer it "sees" the object, the brighter the image will get. (

When things come together... The Electrical Engineer and teacher The amateur Astronomical Observer Book: (2006) The Electric Sky A Challenge to the Myths of Modern Astronomy Papers: (2007): Real Properties of Electromagnetic Fields and Plasma in the Cosmos; in IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PLASMA SCIENCE, VOL. 35, NO. 4, (2007): A Solar Junction Transistor Mechanism; in IEEE 34th International Conference on Plasma Science, 999 (2011): Electric Currents Key to Magnetic Phenomena; in The Open Astronomy Journal, Vol. 4, (Suppl 2-M3),

The Electric Sky  For a man who only has a hammer, everything looks like a nail.  For astronomers who only have gravity, everything looks like a disastrous smash-up.  Gravity only attracts – Electromagnetic forces can attract and repel. Consequence: Astronomers need another tool in their toolbox.

Working on the Electric Universe...

… does not go unnoticed!
