This report, from Wayne W. Welch of the University of Minnesota, studies the impact and sustainability of the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education program. Specifically, the paper focuses on a model developed in relation to sustainability success. The model is composed of seven elements considered important for the ATE program: "widespread participation; abundant information; adequate resources; knowledge and skills/training; distributed power; broaden base; coordination with current initiatives and administrative support; and promotion and marketing." The experiment determined the effect size of each model element and proved the model supported ATE sustainability.
