Involvement of the lung causes shortness of breath or fatigue during physical activity. Many patients with scleroderma become less physically active because of musculoskeletal complaints or the fatiguing nature of the illness. Hence many will not be physically active enough to actually develop shortness of breath.
Computer hardware engineers research, design, develop, and test computer systems and components such as processors, circuit boards, memory devices, networks, and routers. These engineers discover new directions in computer hardware, which generate rapid advances in computer technology.
Usual tasks involving computer engineers include writing software and firmware for embedded microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, designing analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems.
