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