Transitioning A Technology Program To Outcomes Oriented Tc2 K Criteria

Abstract

This paper describes a program assessment process that was developed at a university in the Midwest to transition to the ABET outcomes-oriented TC2K criteria. It will also explain the approach used by the Engineering Technology faculty to evolve into this current assessment plan. Excel spreadsheets and templates used in this assessment model are shown.

Excimer and Exciplex Formation in Gold(I) Complexes Preconditioned by Aurophilic Interactions

“…[132,133] Early structure determinations of dicyanoaurates(I) of the rare-earth elements also gave layered structures with the gold atoms arranged in KagomØ nets (three-and six-membered rings) with Au À Au distances of 3.316 .S urprisingly,t he NCÀAuÀCN anions were found to be strongly bent, which allowed for both short Au•••Auc ontacts and an optimized prismatic coordination of the cations. [134] In another series of studies,the structures and luminescence properties of rare-earth dicyanoaurates(I) were again investigated, revealing examples where aurophilic contacts are present or absent. In the crystals,t he energy transfer in the former clearly occurs through the Au•••Au contacts.…”
