control the car from video. When the RC car went over anRFID sensor/tag it disabled the controls for one second. This project was funded by NSF S-STEM Scholarship program at UVU.Sample Project 2: Snake Game: A Verilog ImplementationIn this project, a team of two computer engineering students worked together to design a SnakeGame video game on a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) using Verilog language. Thegame was uploaded to a tinyFPGA-BX board. The users controlled the game using simple pushbuttons that are wired to the board. A Video Graphics Array (VGA) display was used so that thegame could be transported and played on modern displays. Figure 5: Top Level View [16]Specialized hardware was built to run this

an NSF S-STEM grant.Two computer engineering students worked on this project for one semester. The objective ofthis project was to design a smart wireless sprinkler system to be used in residential and smallbusinesses. A wireless sensor network was designed and used throughout a lawn that tookperiodic moisture measurements and sent the data to the sprinkler control system, so that the unitcan make informed decision about what areas of a lawn need to be watered. The system that wasdesigned can be easily retrofitted into any existing sprinkler system. The top-level view of thesystem for their design is shown in Figure 1.
