Pavement engineering at the crossroads: the way ahead

This paper summarises the reasons behind the establishment of the International Centre for Pavement Engineering Education (ICPEE), outlines its development and operation and examines its likely future. The decade of the 1990s clearly has brought about a greater demand for the short courses and distance learning program offered by ICPEE which are aimed at the immediate needs of the industry (private and Government sectors) and the pavement engineers and technicians employed by industry. Rapid and effective education/technology transfer is achieved by carefully designed distance learning programs which makes on-going education possible in most countries around the world and able to reach remote locations within a country. The Master of Technology in Pavements and Master of Engineering in Pavements are unique qualifications because they are heavily pavement industry-oriented.
