      As far as a tangible skill goes I think being able to operate CAD software and produce 2D drawings. As far as ability goes I am able to think of creative solutions to problems. This is only half the battle though and I believe I have good interpersonal communication skills which are really helpful and not quite as common in engineers as a whole.

      technical skill ? understanding circuits – how they work, and then which part has broken or needs upgrading, or how to design a circuit for a specific purpose
      Ability – customer services, keeping people happy is hugely important, especially if somethings not working…

      In my opinion my best skill is problem solving involving maths. I really enjoy maths and find myself applying my knowledge to a large amount of problems.
