predictive-analysisSkills

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

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 Naval Architecture & Marine 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, Mathematics, Critical Thinking, Judgment and Decision Making, Complex Problem Solving, Active Listening, Speaking, Active Learning, Writing, Monitoring, Time Management, Coordination, Systems Analysis, Management of Personnel Resources, Social Perceptiveness, Instructing, Quality Control Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Persuasion, Science, Negotiation, Operations Analysis, Learning Strategies, Service Orientation, Operation Monitoring, Management of Financial Resources, Management of Material Resources, Troubleshooting, Technology Design, Programming, Operation and Control, Equipment Maintenance, Repairing, Equipment Selection, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
