Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Other Civil Engineering field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Other Civil Engineering majors need many skills, but most especially Mathematics. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Other Civil Engineering majors need more than the average amount of Technology Design, 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 Other Civil 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 Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, and Complex Problem Solving are the three most important skills for people in the field.
