Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Civil Engineering Technology field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Civil Engineering Technology majors need many skills, but most especially Reading Comprehension. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Civil Engineering Technology majors need more than the average amount of Science, Operation and Control, Mathematics, Operations Analysis, Operation Monitoring, Active Listening, Reading Comprehension, Critical Thinking, Monitoring, Management of Material Resources, Quality Control Analysis, Negotiation, Systems Analysis, Speaking, Coordination, Writing, Complex Problem Solving, Service Orientation, Social Perceptiveness, Management of Financial Resources, Systems Evaluation, Judgment and Decision Making, Time Management, Programming, Active Learning, Troubleshooting, Persuasion, Management of Personnel Resources, Instructing, Learning Strategies, Technology Design, Equipment Selection, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Repairing.
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 Civil Engineering Technology 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 Science is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Active Listening, Critical Thinking, Mathematics, Speaking, Writing, Monitoring, Complex Problem Solving, Judgment and Decision Making, Coordination, Active Learning, Systems Analysis, Social Perceptiveness, Time Management, Operations Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Science, Service Orientation, Negotiation, Persuasion, Learning Strategies, Instructing, Operation Monitoring, Management of Personnel Resources, Operation and Control, Quality Control Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Programming, Troubleshooting, Technology Design, Equipment Selection, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
