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