First, he figured, he had to attract the right undergraduates, so he wrote a syllabus accordingly:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;This course will gather together a diverse set of students who are serious about their spiritual lives,\u0026rdquo; it read, \u0026ldquo;and yet who are also studying hard to be Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s next cadre of world-class graduates.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThere is surely no other Tech class with similar prerequisites, because there is no similar class at all. And once the course \u0026mdash; Science, Engineering and Religion: An Interfaith Dialogue \u0026mdash; began this past spring, Cressler realized his students had been yearning for something like it.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.news.gatech.edu\/features\/class-notes-john-cressler\u0022\u003ERead the full story.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EAn engineering puzzle: How do you assemble a class about religion at a place like Georgia Tech?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"An engineering puzzle: How do you assemble a class about religion at a place like Georgia Tech?
