My educational journey in Roads and Pavements has been a remarkable experience. I have been able to enhance my understanding and skills in the field through completing the CPEE Master of Pavement Technology.

Rob Fisher

Temora Shire Council -Engineering Manager

At a time where many Local Government organisations are under significant financial pressure and the local communities we serve are more complex than ever, it has become of utmost importance that Councils understand in detail the significant infrastructure assets they own and operate to deliver community services.

      What Employers Think

      Graduate satisfaction over last few years with teaching quality in excess of 90%.

      In a recent survey, Industry employers valued that the program went beyond the ‘vocational’ by providing more and broader knowledge than was needed to simply conduct routine pavement designs. They noted that graduates had a better understanding of how design of pavements and materials fitted into the broader infrastructure procurement and life-cycle.

      Graduates valued that the program ‘brought it all together’ by providing a framework in which all the knowledge they needed was arranged, allowing them to link concepts and tools easily. Long-past graduates voiced the view that the program had allowed them to do more in the way of pavements and materials, and to operate more effectively over the intervening years.
