Vermont State University - Randolph (formerly Vermont Technical College)

About

Vermont State University's Randolph campus (formerly Vermont Technical College) is the state's primary institution for hands-on technical education. The Electrical Engineering Technology program covers power systems, industrial controls, PLC programming, and renewable energy systems — with a strong focus on Vermont's commitment to 100% renewable electricity by 2032. The Mechanical Engineering Technology program includes manufacturing processes, CNC machining, CAD/CAM, and quality assurance. Vermont State's Sustainable Energy program is particularly relevant as the state aggressively pursues its clean energy goals — students learn solar PV design and installation, energy auditing, building performance, and smart grid technologies. The Architectural and Building Engineering Technology program prepares students for Vermont's construction industry with emphasis on high-performance building enclosures and energy efficiency. Labs feature industry-standard equipment from Allen Bradley, Siemens, and Mitsubishi. Located in rural central Vermont, the campus provides a focused learning environment with strong faculty mentoring. Vermont's 802 Career and Technical Education system feeds students into the college's programs, and articulation agreements allow transfer to four-year engineering programs.
