Mathematics serves as the universal language in STEM fields, making math proficiency a crucial factor for students entering college and pursuing STEM degrees. However, inadequate math preparation can pose a significant barrier. Placing students in lower-level math not only hinders time-to-degree but also imposes additional financial burdens, often leading to attrition from STEM programs. This is particularly true for underrepresented students, who frequently lack access to advanced math courses and experienced teachers in their high schools. Bridging the gap between high school preparation and the demands of STEM degrees during the early college years is vital for retaining these students. Addressing this challenge, a National Science Foundation-funded collaboration developed between a large R1 university (XXX) and a community college (YYY)  is ongoing and it involves engineering, education and math faculty. Two animated Canvas Applications, "Let’s Build" and "Viva XXXXX" center on civil and mechanical engineering, offering a tangible application of elementary functions like linear and quadratic functions. Grounded in place-based and culturally-responsive pedagogy, these applications aim to empower students and to foster a sense of belonging in the STEM community at XXX and YYY. Evaluation of their effectiveness as supplemental exercises in the current precalculus math co-requisite model is underway. This initiative strives to make math more accessible and engaging, ultimately contributing to the success of students pursuing STEM degrees.
