The new factory was built and smartly decked out,
To confidently monitor machines without doubt,
Santa saw the future in a shining new light.
“Toys aren’t everything, these elves are quite bright!”
“You elves,” he said, “should be engineers.
You’re off to college but go easy on beers.”
They packed up their bags and pocket protectors,
Some pictures of Santa and new calculators.
And off they went with pens and pencils,
To learn electrons and earn credentials.
They started with math, like what’s a cosine,
And finished with embedded systems design.
They studied the info to make Santa proud
They made big arrays and controlled them by cloud.
OEM systems, the circuitry tight,
Where every small signal must always be right.
In practical lab their professor did say,
“These are the sensors I’d choose any day.
For motion and tilt, even crash with a sled.
Accels from SDI rank up with sliced bread.”
The elves exchanged grins, they loved SDI,
The parts had worked great and were easy to buy.
They learned how SDI accelerometers sense,
And how they are used, from roads to defense.
They returned as EEs with toys in their thoughts,
And how they could improve their brand-new robots.
From transport to toys to quality control,
They improved what they made (except lumps of coal).
And Santa looked on with a satisfied smile,
The factory ran smooth, mile after mile.
The elves were so brilliant, their ideas were bright,
Which came in quite handy for one cold, sleigh-bound night.
Don’t miss part 3, where with degrees in hand and ideas in motion, the elves set their sights on a new challenge: Santa’s worn-out sleigh.
