Abstract :
Charles F. Scott was President of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) from 1902-3. Already well known to the power engineering community for his invention of the Scott transformer connection and his investigation of high voltage transmission, he undertook a number of significant initiatives during his tenure as AIEE president. These were intended to enhance the status of electrical engineers and to increase the outreach of the AIEE. His career pattern was somewhat unusual in that he devoted the second half of his professional career to electrical engineering education. A brief history of Scott´s electrical power engineering career is given.
