As CPEE students study by via distance learning, access to library facilities can sometime be troublesome especially if located in a remote or isolated environment. While the majority of our students are currently employed in the road pavements industry and have direct access to their employers' library facility we acknowledge that this is not the case for all of our students.

To ensure that all CPEE students have timely access to reference material for use with the distance programs we have provided a list of links and suggestions on how to obtain relevant information.
 
Below is a listing of external organisations that provide either through their website or directly access to documents, papers, article and technical reports directly relating to the road pavement industry that may be applicable to student studies. 


* Please note that the clicking on the below links will take you to external website that are outside CPEE control (see CPEE privacy policy).
