. Therefore, conveying engineering ideas, a topic that is already complex, exponentially increasedin difficulty. It took a major sense of empathy to grasp the challenge that Brazilian students were havingfully. To communicate in your non-native language all day with fluent speakers is draining, compoundedby the stress of meeting project deadlines; students must take a step back and reflect upon the struggles ofothers. Additionally, the Brazilian mentor was another interesting dynamic that must be navigated. Theywere the head point of communication for all case studies and relayed sensitive information about theCPFL’s internal struggles. Navigating these foreign relationships effectively determined the group’ssuccess. Being able to synthesize

Onesuch method is the integration of reflective exercises within engineering course work.This paper traces the adoption of critical reflection as a core pedagogical strategy in anengineering management program focused on sustainable international development within oneUK university. Critical reflection, which stems from a critical scholarly tradition, asks us toquestion our assumptions, recognize the role that power plays in shaping our social reality, anduse reason to advance our emancipatory thinking and
