The study is likely to interest a broad group of engineering education researchers and/orpractitioners to disseminate knowledge on engineering teaching and learning since mathematics isa common problem throughout engineering education. In addition, even though the improvementof COMPASS students in continuing math courses are not significant, their slightly betterperformance shows a great improvement in comparison with their low math test scores ashigh-risk category group students.
