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