The 42nd Annu al Asian Pacific Cu ltu r e W eek Ou r Stor y: Fr om the Gr ou p Up
Now ‐ April 24
Since its inception in 1973, Asian Pacific Culture Week (APCW) has provided the UC Davis campus
with cultural programs designed to both educate and celebrate. APCW became a University
sponsored program in 1979 and has grown into an annual event anticipated by students, faculty,
staff, and members of the Davis community alike. The week is filled with presentations by
speakers from diverse corners of the Asian Pacific Islander community. In the past, musicians,
comedians, actors, authors, artists, and civil rights activists have visited the campus to share their
experiences.
This year's theme for APCW, "Our Story: From the Ground Up," places an emphasis on our
life/ethnic/environmental background, struggles, accomplishments, identities and bases. The
programs put on during APCW highlight our history, our current dilemmas, our future aspirations,
our families and every aspect of ourselves that have been historically marginalized and
underrepresented.
Thank you to our major sponsors: the Office of Campus Community Relations, Associated
Students of UC Davis and Division of Student Affairs

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

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.
SORORITY AND FRATERNITY LIFE UPDATES
