An equation of state serves two useful purposes. Its most obvious use is in theprediction of the PvT behavior of a substance over the desired range of values. Theequilibrium states of a simple compressible substance can be represented by a surfacePvT on a Cartesian coordinate system. The projection of a typical surface onto the P vplane is shown in

projects can foster the inclusion of students with learning disabilities (Daniela and Lytras, 2019; Nanou and Karampatzakis, 2022). In the case of tertiary education, industrial-scale robots are used to prepare students for careers in industry by emphasizing aspects such as hardware, software, and human-machine interfaces (Nagai, 2001; Brell-Çokcan and Braumann, 2013). However, industrial-scale robots are expensive to purchase. In addition, there is usually some oversight over their usage due to time-sharing and to prevent damage, which prevents "free-play" by students. Some solutions to this include the use of miniature robots and the use of online labs (Mallik and Kapila, 2020; Stein and Lédeczi, 2021). Though these reduce the cost of the setups

Daniel was proactive in starting and joining study groups: Because most of them were engineers, we just started studying together. So, I just met people in my dorm that were like exceptionally good in certain subjects. One guy literally sat down for two hours to teach me a concept that like I was really struggling with.

Morrow [10], writing about data literacy, indicates “our minds do better with storiesthan with data. We need to empower people to share stories and communicate the results,analyses and insight found in the data” (pp. 47-48). However, these stories will need to be told toa range of audiences. This range of audiences is broadening as the practice of engineering ismoving increasingly toward interdisciplinary projects and global work and work teams [11],[12].The adage to know what you write can be perceived in two ways when examining writing inprobability and statistics.

This approach wasfollowed in pioneering projects such as the one resulting in the historically significant program,NBSLD, described in [1]. This program also introduced some significant heat transfer andrelated modeling methods. Another important pioneering effort, the BLAST program [2], used asimilar method.
