He claimed civil engineers know all about the roadand nothing about signal processing. The current standard of measuring road roughness entailedmeasurements made at constant speed under ideal conditions. This approach did not accuratelyrepresent normal driving conditions.

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

. First, the project focuses on faculty community, rather thanexternal communities such as companies or local residential communities. The definition ofcommunity we adopted is not just in a physical location, but in an organizational location, in “thecooperation in labor, order and management,” (Tönnies, 2000, p. 43). This is important in ourconsideration of community of engagement, as we go beyond physical boundaries, such as thosebetween university and its wider locale, to cognitive boundaries, such as those within and amonguniversity colleges and departments. It is with this in mind that we define engagement andengaged communities. Second, it expands the definitions and model of community engagementby highlighting how engineering faculty
