摘要

工程学课程是根据教师和认证机构对毕业生在工程学职业中需要哪些知识、技能和能 力的看法而设置的。本研究的目的是确定不同工程学科和教育水平的行业雇主对专业和技术技能的要求有何不同。通过使用大量(n = 26,103 )雷同的招聘广告样本,我们使用 O*NET 技能数据库来确定拥有学士、硕士和博士学位的生物医学、土木、化学、电气、环境和机械工程师对不同专业和技术技能的需求频率。这项研究的结果对于工程专业的领导者和课程设计者来说具有重要的意义,他们可以选择教授学生哪些技能,从而使学生做好最充分的准备,获得并胜任工程专业的工作。研究结果还表明,学生可以优先在哪些技能上投入时间,从而获得最大的经济回报。

What engineering employers want: An analysis of technical and professional skills in engineering job advertisements

Background

Engineering curricula are built around faculty and accreditors' perceptions of what knowledge, skills, and abilities graduates will need in engineering careers. However, the people making these decisions may not be fully aware of what industry employers require for engineering graduates.

Purpose/Hypothesis

The purpose of this study is to determine how industry employer-sought professional and technical skills vary among engineering disciplines and levels of education.

Design/Method

Using a large sample (n = 26,103) of mined job advertisements, we use the O*NET skills database to determine the frequencies of different professional and technical skills for biomedical, civil, chemical, electrical, environmental, and mechanical engineers with bachelor's, master's, and PhD degrees.

Results

The most frequently sought professional skill is problem-solving; the most frequently sought technical skills across disciplines are Microsoft Office software and computer-aided design software. Although not the most frequently requested skills, job advertisements including the Python and MATLAB programming languages paid significantly higher salaries than those without.

Conclusions

The findings of this study have important implications for engineering program leaders and curriculum designers choosing which skills to teach students so that they are best prepared to get and excel in engineering jobs. The results also show which skills students can prioritize investing their time in so that they receive the largest financial return on their investment.
