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