The COMPASS (Co-Ordinated Math and Physics Assessment for Student Success) program will support a national initiative to retain STEM majors and will be designed to aid students to navigate successfully through their first year. In particular, the program will be designed to help students improve their achievements in their introductory courses and increase retention. The proposed approach combines effective educational programs tailored to specific student needs prior to their enrollment.The broader impacts for the COMPASS program include the development of strategies specifically designed to address the retention rates of undergraduate students in STEM disciplines. Students will be placed in a program designed to build on their personal strengths in a way to support them in the development of other important academic areas. The program will build on existing courses grounded in educational research and provides an easily adaptable retention strategy accessible to a wide range of institutions.The intellectual merits for the COMPASS program include the development of methodologies to interpret information about the initial state of students' preparedness prior to their enrollment in college level courses. The program activities will include an examination of new ways to improve introductory STEM courses through a coordinated curriculum strategy which is adapted to individual students' specific needs.

COMPASS（学生成功协调数学和物理评估）项目将支持一项保留STEM专业的国家倡议，旨在帮助学生顺利度过第一年。特别是，该计划旨在帮助学生提高他们在入门课程中的成绩，并增加保留率。所提出的方法结合了有效的教育方案，以满足学生入学前的具体需求。COMPASS计划的更广泛影响包括制定专门针对STEM学科本科生保留率的战略。学生将被安排在一个旨在建立他们个人优势的项目中，以支持他们在其他重要学术领域的发展。该计划将建立在现有的教育研究课程基础上，并提供一种易于适应的保留策略，适用于广泛的机构。COMPASS项目在智力上的优点包括开发了一些方法来解释学生在大学水平课程入学前的初始准备状态。该计划活动将包括通过协调课程策略来改进STEM入门课程的新方法，以适应个别学生的具体需求。
