Errors resulting from theseapproximations will be analyzed in this paper. This paper will show that these approximationsare not very accurate at all ranges of temperatures and pressures. The paper will establish limitson the range of pressures and temperatures that these approximations could be used withreasonable

role in theeconomy. During the 1990's a double digit growth (11.8-13.9%) has been recorded.[2] The manufacturingsector's share of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has increased steadily from 13% in 1960 to 26% in1990. During the same period the agricultural share of the GDP has dropped from 40% to just over 12%.[3] In order to support the rapidly expanding manufacturing sector, there is considerable need forskilled personnel in the manufacturing field. During the mid 1980's to the early 1990's, Thailand hasexperienced a scarcity of technical personnel at all employment levels. The situation compelled thegovernment to relax the employment regulations governing non-Thai engineers, scientists, and techniciansand to establish a long term

DevelopmentAs demonstrated by accounts such as Thomas Friedman‟s The World is Flat1 and the Engineer of2020 investigations by the National Academy of Engineering,2 engineering educators are onceagain focusing on necessary changes to our national engineering workforce. If there ever were anopportunity draw useful lessons from history, it would surely be on this topic. Concerns about an“engineering manpower” crisis persisted throughout the Cold War years in American history,fueled by massive federal expenditures and the emphasis placed on science and its application tothe nation‟s arsenal and economic wealth. Even as we proceed to transform, if not dismantle, theinstitutional apparatus developed to meet the exigencies of the Cold War period, it may well
