interacting points of view) alongside discussions of“objectivity.” Integrating conversation architectures that value and develop intersubjectivestatements allows multiple perspectives to come out so teams can take advantage of them in theirwork. Open Sentences also allow students to share their personal interests and values; connectingwith these inner interests can increase their intrinsic motivation [15].Open Sentences can lead to emotionally vulnerable spaces when students share their values,motivations, and fears. In our experiences, engineering curricula do not typically provide manyspaces for the development of affective skills, and facilitators should keep this in mind. Forinstance, it may be helpful to use a progression of Open Sentences that
