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.
Electrical engineers and computer engineers are problem-solvers who want to make things work more efficiently and quickly and less expensively. From computer chips and satellites to medical devices and renewable energy technologies, engineering makes our modern life possible. In particular, electrical engineers and computer engineers have a wide range of study options and career paths that let them design, build, and manage those ideas into reality.
