Engineering Programs at Vermont State

Engineering improves the world through the integration of math, science, economics, and other fields to solve problems and create opportunities for better living. Engineers are creators, leaders, and change-makers who implement designs and processes to design or sustain infrastructure and the environment, transform ideas into tangible products, and turn ideas into reality. They are assisted by engineering technicians who focus on implementing solutions using practical methods. 

Professional and career-oriented education in Vermont has been rooted on the Vermont State University Randolph campus since 1957, and we granted our first Associate of Engineering degree in 1965. Today, Vermont State University offers multiple outstanding four-year and two-year engineering programs to meet the breadth and depth of student interest and societal need in this broad field.  

At Vermont State University, you will learn using the same cutting-edge tools and technology commonly found in much larger universities, but in our smaller, more personal setting. You will build your technical know-how and grow your leadership skills through practical labs and professional work experiences as you prepare for career success. 

99% of our engineering students are employed or continuing their education six months from graduation *— with many accepting full-time job offers before they graduate!
