OPEN COURSES
ECM 1: The Design of CoffeeThis very popular course offers you a chance to learn how totransform raw coffee beans to an icy and refreshing cup of Joe.
Rejuvenation in a cup!
GE Credit: 3 units of Science and Engineering; VisualLiteracy andScientific LiteracyLearn more at: http://bit.ly/SAVEAp
Frequently Asked QuestionsWill 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 experimentsinvolving coffee. Examples include taking apart a Mr.Coffee brewer to analyze how it works, measuring thepH of coffee versus brew time, and examining theenergy usage of different roasting profiles. In every labsession you will get to taste the resulting coffee,working with your group to ultimately make yourunique 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 andolfactory (smelling) sensory analyses. However, one of the things you will learn in this class is thatproperly prepared, fresh roasted coffee can taste nothing like the bitter stuff you might havetasted before. Some coffees even taste sweet without adding sugar. Moreover, a fun part of theclass is the blind taste test at the end of the quarter, where you get to complete with yourclassmates Iron Chef style.
I only drink decaffeinated coffee. Is decaf available?Yes. For students who cannot or choose not to consume caffeine, decaffeinated green coffeebeans 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 inengineering. 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 satisfies3 units of both Scientific Literacy and Visual Literacy.
Why is this class in the department of chemical engineering? Are we going to be adding weirdchemicals to the coffee?Absolutely not! During the entire course we will use only green coffee beans and water. As we willdiscuss in the class, chemical engineers apply quantitative reasoning to a tremendously widevariety of industrial applications. Quite a lot of our graduates are actually hired by the food andbeverage industries. But the maingoal here is to introduce students to how chemical engineers analyze things, using coffee as a fun(and delicious!) example.
