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