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