In an isometric drawing the lines appear to recede toward a vanishing point as does a perspective drawing
In a perspective drawing, lines appear to recede toward a vanishing point, whereas in an isometric drawing the receding lines are drawn parallel.
Match the Job to the Description: Mechanical, Process Piping,Bachelor's, Electronics, Associate's
M:work with mechanical engineers and designers to prepare detail and assembly drawings of machinery and mechanical devices. PP: prepare drawings used in the construction of oil refineries, oil exploration and production industries, chemical plants, and process piping systems like those used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. B: programs generally take 4 to 5 years to complete and usually require that students master higher level courses in mathematics and physics. E: create schematic diagrams, printed circuit board artwork, integrated circuit layouts, and other graphics used in the repair and manufacture of electronic (semiconductor) devices. A: These programs usually take from 1 to 2 years to complete and focus on the skills necessary to work as a drafter in industry. These skills may include drafting techniques, knowledge of drafting standards, and how CAD programs are used to create drawings.
