in the CAED degree programs. As each program stands, there is already a highnumber of undergraduate course units to meet graduation criteria set by accreditation bodies,offering little flexibility in a department’s curriculum flowchart to create new courses to addressDEI. At present, some students take on extra elective courses in ethnic studies and related fields(beyond their degree’s general education requirements) to further their knowledge on DEI issues.The authors anticipate that similar challenges are experienced across faculty in built environmentprograms (and more broadly science, technology, engineering, and math - STEM) regardless ofthe U.S. region they serve or presence in a teaching or research-oriented institution.

Keywords-educational transformation, change processes, transformative learningIntroduction In the fall of 2011, we came together to analyze eight interview transcripts ofChangemakers, prominent change agents who have exemplar records in enabling sociallybeneficial change in STEM education. Changemakers are considered to be change agents giventheir extensive backgrounds and actions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields. As Changemakers, their individual journeys and transformational experienceshave shaped them into
