Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Other Related Mechanical Engineering Technologies field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Other Related Mechanical Engineering Technologies majors need many skills, but most especially Reading Comprehension. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Other Related Mechanical Engineering Technologies majors need more than the average amount of Repairing, Equipment Maintenance, Equipment Selection, Troubleshooting, Operation and Control, Operation Monitoring, Quality Control Analysis, Technology Design, Operations Analysis, Science, Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, Coordination, Systems Evaluation, Systems Analysis, Critical Thinking, Time Management, Complex Problem Solving, Monitoring, Judgment and Decision Making, Writing, Active Listening, Persuasion, Management of Personnel Resources, Speaking, Service Orientation, Negotiation, Active Learning, Learning Strategies, Instructing, Social Perceptiveness, Installation, Programming, Management of Financial Resources, and Management of Material Resources.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Other Related Mechanical Engineering Technologies majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Repairing is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Critical Thinking, Active Listening, Writing, Speaking, Operation Monitoring, Monitoring, Complex Problem Solving, Coordination, Quality Control Analysis, Judgment and Decision Making, Active Learning, Mathematics, Operation and Control, Time Management, Troubleshooting, Systems Analysis, Learning Strategies, Systems Evaluation, Science, Social Perceptiveness, Instructing, Persuasion, Service Orientation, Repairing, Management of Personnel Resources, Equipment Selection, Equipment Maintenance, Negotiation, Operations Analysis, Technology Design, Programming, Management of Financial Resources, Management of Material Resources, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
