difference in these purecircular motion problems versus one-dimensional motion along the x or y axes is that theresultant acceleration vector will have two components.In addition, an angle will need to be calculated between these two acceleration components.There will be no formulas that contain standard rotational variables such as ω and α.Also, a new notation for the introduction of time will be introduced. For example, with an initialvelocity of 1 m/s and a given tangential acceleration how long will it take (t) to reach a finalvelocity of 4m/s? The notation will be as follows (1m/s, 0s) and (4m/s,ts)This alternative method eliminates the need for plotting variables in a two-dimensional graphwith time on the horizontal axis. Except for the

Organization (WHO) Arsenic is a well-known carcinogen2 . The levelof toxicity depends on the type of compound. For example, Arsenic in organic compounds is lesstoxic but Arsenic in inorganic compounds is more toxic. Arsine (ASH3), Arsenite, and Arsenatein particular are highly toxic compounds. Humans unknowingly consume Arsenic throughdrinking water and plants. In addition to naturally occurring Arsenic, the Arsenic concentration ofsoil increases due to human activity. Arsenic compounds are used in the industry sector in themanufacturing of semi-conductors, glass production, papers, metal adhesives, ceramics, woodpreservatives, and explosives3 . Inorganic Arsenic compounds were used as pesticides in theUnited States of America (USA) before the 1950’s

early1990’s. It was understood that a FEM theory was not necessary to learn the usage of FEAsimulation. FEA simulation was included as a part of solid modeling in an engineering designgraphics course [11]. Ural et. al. [12] have developed a project for first year course incorporatingFEA simulation. In that project, the behavior of a SMARTBEAM® was examined usingexperimental measurement and FEA simulation and the results were compared. For all these firstyear courses FEA was used only as a simulation tool and the philosophy was that the underlyingFEA theory or the knowledge of mechanics was not necessary.Papadopoulos et al. [13] proposed a different pedagogy on integration of FEA practicethroughout the undergraduate CE/ME curriculum. They
