Andrew Papacostas
Meet one of our Original CPEE Masters - Andrew Papacostas, currently in the role of Principal Engineer - Pavements & Material - Department of Transport and Planning.
Andrew told us his educational journey in Roads and Pavements has been a remarkable experience. He has been able to enhance his understanding and skills in the field through completing the CPEE Master of Pavement Technology. He was able to learn from industry leaders in the area of road design, construction, material selection, maintenance, rehabilitation, and more.
He said he was able to gain valuable insights into the principles and practices of Roads and Pavements. Andrew said his knowledge has been invaluable to his career as Principal Engineer - Pavements & Material at the Department of Transport and Planning in Victoria.
Thank you, Andrew. We’re delighted to see how your commitment to your education has greatly benefited your career
Meet another CPEE Master - Andrew Bethune, Global Operations Director Mobility - Arcadis.
Andrew told us he agonised over several years in contemplating undertaking the Master of Pavements, the additional effort and challenge especially with a busy day job. Once he made the call, it was one of the best decisions and most fulfilling experiences of addressing knowledge gaps, challenging thinking, but best of all it was material from his industry, and delivered by industry experts, so very relevant to his profession.
He said CPEE is unique, how many higher education courses address this. It helped build on his technical confidence, forced him to think about engineering fundamentals again, and has made him a better problem solver.
Thank you, Andrew. You are a true legend in our industry and we are delighted you are part of the CPEE family as an Alumni.
Meet Nicole Benson one of our 2023 Alumni from CPEE Graduate Certificate in Asset Management.
Nicole heard about the course from an IPWEA course that other staff at work were participating in. “Asset Management was the last piece in the puzzle for me. It was about the only gap I needed to fill before applying for Executive roles in Local Government.“Nicole said the CPEE program was easy to follow and the program had great support from lecturers and others participating in the course. I also made some good local government contacts.
The course provided me;“sound knowledge of Asset Management and its application, particularly in local government and within the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework”
Nicole’s current role is Director Technical Services - Warrumbungle Shire Council and she said the course was valuable as much of the content is applied on a regular basis.
