ENGAGE vs ENGROSS

I'm trying to learn the nuance between ENGAGE and ENGROSS

A. Never answering cellphone in my car, I'm always fully engaged/engrossed whenever I'm driving.

B. I am completely engaged/engrossed in this project.

I feel both words are valid, but I can't tell if there's any minuscule difference in their meanings. Is there any?
