Dining Commons Impacted
UC Davis will be hosting Decision UC Davis, a one-day program for admitted students and their families, on
Saturday, April 11, 2013. It is truly an exciting opportunity for us to welcome new Aggies to our campus and
allow them to fully experience our campus community. As part of that experience, we anticipate that many of
these guests will participate in residence hall tours and have meals in the Segundo DC and Tercero DC. We
expect that the dining halls may be highly impacted with the number of guests that we will have on
campus.
We encourage you to consider earlier dining times as we expect the greatest impact to be 11:30am1:30pm. As a reminder, we also offer Simply-to-Go meals at The Junction and Trudy's should you wish
to avoid the dining rooms altogether. If you have any questions, please see your dining room cashier or speak with a dining manager in your area.
We understand the impact that our visitors may have and ask for your understanding as we open the campus
to prospective students. Academic Advising Center Survey
We want to hear from you! If you recently met with a peer adviser in an
academic advising center, please check your email for a Survey Monkey link to
share your experiences and for your chance to win a prize from our weekly

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.

Entertainment Council
ASUCD EC presents Slow Magic | Saturday, April 4, 2015 | 7 PM
MU Quad // FREE for all UC Davis Students!
ADD us on social media! Instagram | Twitter | Website: ec.ucdavis.edu | Event page
SLOW MAGIC: A DIY project with worldwide scope, Slow Magic is universal and
inclusive. It's cosmic electronic music culled from the ether, yet crafted with human
hands. It's joyous, escapist, multi-disciplinary art that mixes transcendent performance with the nostalgic
intimacy of two teenagers staying up too late on the phone. After the release of 2012's beloved and criticallyacclaimed Triangle, Slow Magic became an international movement after touring with artists like Gold Panda
and XXYYXX. Crowds found a masked man in their midst, bathed in fantastic light, with electronic triggers
and a drum. The future-primitive combination infused the project's electronic compositions with new life. How
To Run Away, Slow Magic's debut with Downtown Records, reflects this growth, oozing both otherworldly
beauty and a mastery of production. Lead single "Girls" is deconstructionist house with an organic pulse and
collaged, handcrafted samples. "Hold Still" sculpts elastic organs and jazz piano into an emotionallypummeling finale, while the melancholy "Let U Go" merges watery dub with spectral piano and "Closer" plays
like a '90s R&B fever dream. Slow Magic is music by your imaginary friend.
