Lawrence B. Scott Jr.

The UA department of aerospace and mechanical engineering is sad to share the news that Lawrence B. "Larry" Scott Jr., professor emeritus and former department head, has passed away.

Scott joined the UA in 1967 and served as department head from 1970 to 1980. He oversaw a growth in stature for the department, particularly in the area of fluid mechanics, and he is noted for hiring several renowned faculty members, including William R. "Bill" Sears and A. Richard "Dick" Seebass. 

Scott was also a dedicated educator who won several teaching citations, including a nomination for the University's Five-Star Faculty Award. 

He retired from the University in 2001.
