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