  3. Alcoa and Aluminum • Alcoa is a company that is trying to make the Penn State campus more sustainable, of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged • Aluminum is a great material to use since it can be easily recycled. It is most commonly found as the ore Bauxite, which is a mixture of hydrated aluminum oxide and hydrated iron oxide. It is recycled at aluminum treatment plants where it is melted down and compressed into ingots. • The alloys in aluminum such as copper, silicon, magnesium, and zinc generally have low melting points and are can be strengthened by heat, making them very hard.

  4. The Problem • To identify opportunities across the campus to take advantage of aluminum’s intrinsic properties for the purpose of increasing the efficiency or sustainability of products and product systems. • Penn State has allowed the students of the campus to own cars and be able to take them from class to class. Today, Penn State is attempting to reduce the number of cars on campus in order to make the campus both greener and safer for pedestrians • The ultimate objective of this project is to reduce the transportation cost around campus as it is now (CATA Busses, Cars), thereby making the campus more sustainable (economically and environmentally) as a whole. This will be done though using Aluminum and its properties as a bridge to achieve this goal.

  5. The Customer Needs • The main stakeholders in the project are Alcoa, Penn State’s OPP, and Penn States student body • A main concern for both the students and the university officials was for this solution to affordable / profitable. • Students wanted the new system to be fast and to be reliable, in order to make it to class on time. • Officials wanted the system to take up as little space on campus as possible, due to the fact that space is already at a premium around campus • Another Major concern of the University is for the system to be safe, in order to insure no students would be harmed.

  7. Concept Generation The following is a list of possible solutions for the problem. Each of these were put through screening and evaluation in order to get the best idea. • Put in new bike paths around campus (Most Direct) • Set up bike “pick up” kiosks around the campus • Use Recycled Aluminum for Bikes • Have many small “pick up” locations • Have a few large “pick up” locations • Make cheaper than CATA + Cars on campus • Use “wasted space” on campus for “pick up locations • Have a secondary mode of transportation (few buses) • Include price of system in student tuition. Everyone can use it. • Charge Students for the system per semester if they want to use it .

  8. Concept Screening

  9. Evaluation • The standards for selecting the best options were all weighted. The criteria and their weights are as follows

  11. Best Design • After being put through the design criteria, the following ideas emerged as the best options.

  12. Cost Analysis Based on this Analysis, the total profit per year for the university will be $88,500. The system is projected to make a profit after 3 years.

  17. Summary • Through this project, we hope to reduce the cost of transportation around campus, thereby, as a whole, making it more sustainable. We also aim to provide a affordable yet convenient way for students to travel all around the campus and the surrounding areas. • We have high hopes that “Zip-Bike” will become the primary mode of transportation at Penn State in the near future.
