All are cordially invited to join Dr. John Abraham and other UST students and faculty in the sixth of a semester-long series of open discussions  – The Telos Project – sponsored by O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library.

This week:  Dr. Abraham’s primary focus is the education of undergraduates in mechanical engineering courses with a goal of preparing them for substantial careers in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and computational methods. For more about Dr. Abraham’s interests and work, see http://courseweb.stthomas.edu/jpabraham/.

The Telos Project is an effort to bring a renewed focus on a crucial aspect of the University of St. Thomas’ commitment to the pursuit of truth: the integration of knowledge across disciplines. It is the purpose of The Telos Project to re-introduce to the St. Thomas community the dialogue and discussion that is essential for any intellectual community.

Meetings take place over Convo hour, from 12-1, in the O’Shaughnessy Room  (Leather Room) of the O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library.  Each week a professor from a different department will give a brief but provocative presentation on (a) what his/her discipline is, (b) what attracts him/her to it, and (c) why the larger UST community should care. The format of the meetings is as follows:

• 12:00 – 12:15: Introduction by professor to his/her discipline and area of expertise.
• 12:15 – 1:00: Discussion and conversation among/between students and faculty.

All students are invited to participate in discussion this Thursday, and every Thursday, at noon, in OSF Leather Room.  For more information, visit The Telos Project Facebook group or send any questions to TheTelosProjectUST@gmail.com.
