very special late night meal event entitled "Breakfast Under the Stars." We will take over the entire Oxford
Circle parking lot and service student a completely unique menu prepared by the Cuarto DC staff. The theme
for this year: Custom Crepes. We'll have savory, sweet, a variety of breakfast foods and we'll top it all off

Open Courses
ECM 1: The Design of Coffee
This very popular course offers you a chance to learn how to
transform raw coffee beans to an icy and refreshing cup of Joe.
Rejuvenation in a cup!
GE Credit: 3 units of Science and Engineering; Visual Literacy and
Scientific Literacy
Learn more at: http://bit.ly/SAVEAp
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I really get to roast and brew coffee in this class?
Yes! The core component of this class is a weekly 2-hour lab session, where you will do experiments
involving coffee. Examples include taking apart a Mr. Coffee brewer to analyze how it works, measuring the
pH of coffee versus brew time, and examining the energy usage of different roasting profiles. In every lab
session you will get to taste the resulting coffee, working with your group to ultimately make your unique
design for the best-tasting cup of coffee.
I don't drink coffee. Does this class require me to drink it anyway?
No, you can take the entire course without tasting any of the coffee, and doing only visual and olfactory
(smelling) sensory analyses. However, one of the things you will learn in this class is that properly prepared,
fresh roasted coffee can taste nothing like the bitter stuff you might have tasted before. Some coffees even
taste sweet without adding sugar. Moreover, a fun part of the class is the blind taste test at the end of the
quarter, where you get to complete with your classmates Iron Chef style.
I only drink decaffeinated coffee. Is decaf available?
Yes. For students who cannot or choose not to consume caffeine, decaffeinated green coffee beans are
available for both roasting and brewing.
I've heard engineering courses are difficult. Is this class going to destroy my GPA?
No! This class is designed as a general education course for students who are not majoring in engineering. All
grades will be based on a curve using standards appropriate for a non-quantitative, freshmen level class.
Will I get GE credit for this course?
Yes, this class counts as 3 units of Science and Engineering credit for GE. The course also satisfies 3 units
of both Scientific Literacy and Visual Literacy.
Why is this class in the department of chemical engineering? Are we going to be adding weird
chemicals to the coffee?
Absolutely not! During the entire course we will use only green coffee beans and water. As we will discuss in
the class, chemical engineers apply quantitative reasoning to a tremendously wide variety of industrial
applications. Quite a lot of our graduates are actually hired by the food and beverage industries. But the main
goal here is to introduce students to how chemical engineers analyze things, using coffee as a fun (and
delicious!) example.
Native American Experience (NAS 10)
Monday-Thursday | 10 AM - 11:40 AM | Summer Session One (June 22-July 31, 2015)
Professor Steven Crum (Western Shoshone), Department of Native American Studies (NAS), UC Davis
Interested in taking an Exciting 2015 UC Davis Summer School Course? Take Native American Experience
(NAS 10)!
This course provide an overview of the significant histories, life-ways, and issues ithat revolve around the
past and contemporary Indigenous cultures of the Americas. The course will look at a number of important
topics, including cultural, economic, and political resurgence of Native American peoples of the United States.
Gaming and Casinos is an example of economic resurgence.
Because NAS follows a Western Hemispheric approach to the study of Indigenous peoples, lectures will
cover important events that have taken place in those Latin American nation-states that have sizable
Indigenous populations. This includes Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. Some of the topics will
be the Chiapas Rebellion of 1994 and how and why Evo Morales became the first Indigenous president of
recent times to be elected to the Office of the Presidency of Bolivia in 2005.
Moreover, NAS 10 will give some coverage to Indigenous peoples living in three Asian nation-states that
recognize the status of Indigenous peoples: Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan. The course will give attention
to how the issues of Indigenous peoples of Latin America and Asia compare and contrast with those of Native
American people in the U.S.
NAS 10 fulfills a number of GE categories.
Required Textbooks
+ Eisler, Kim, Revenge of the Pequot: How a Small Native American Tribe Created the World's Most
Profitable Casino (2001).
+ Wilkinson, Charles, Blood Struggle: The Rise of Modern Indian Nations (2005).
