Saadat Islam

Electrical & Computer Engineering Student at Carnegie Mellon University

Hello, I am Saadat Islam, an IMB Electrical & Computer Engineering Student at Carnegie Mellon University (cmu.edu).

Growing up surrounded by electronics and computers, I've always been fascinated by what goes on underneath the hood. I love examining devices to understand how they work, how they could be improved, and how I can create in order to advance technology and consequently the world.

Prior to attending CMU, I attended the Stanley E. Foster School of Engineering, Innovation, and Design under the Kearny High Educational Complex (https://kearnyeid.sandiegounified.org) from 2022 to 2026 where I've had the opportunity to cultivate technical skills and leadership.

This website contains projects that I've worked on during my Engineering journey as well as what I've learned from said projects. My updated resume will be available under the Resume tab.

Projects - Overview

Underwater ROV project designed to perform maintenance on off-shore wind turbines. Built frame, soldered components onto PCBA board, connected thrusters and camera via wiring, 3D-printed payload and shrouds.

Bridge project modeled using Balsa Wood to test efficiency of design. Warren Truss design experimented with.

Drivable Robotic Crane Design leveraging mechanical advantage and gear ratios to move hooked weights.

DIY Pinball Machine incorporating wood-working, programming, 3D printing, and laser cutting based on The Great Gatsby's Valley of Ashes.

Adjustable Angle Ping-Pong Ball Launcher used to compare launch angle, vertical, and horizontal displacements.

DIY Acoustic Guitar Project made via application of woodworking skills and machine-shop knowledge.

Designed and built an Automata toy depicting a WW2 battle scene. Constructed using two Heart CAMs and one Eccentric CAM.

DIY Electric Guitar Project made via application of woodworking, wiring, and soldering skills. Successfully works in conjunction with an amplifier.

Senior Gala Capstone Project, innovated a product that would serve as a case for laptops that also has modular slots for docks, external drives, etc. Increases portability whilst maximizing power.
