AB  - RECET (Remote Electrical and Computer Engineering Teaching) is a pilot project developed by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association (ECEDHA) to help provide quality ECE education even when fully online and explore issues associated with blended online and in-person instruction for the future. The COVID-19 pandemic forced most ECE programs in the US to rapidly go online. Departments found this transition quite challenging if they had not previously developed materials and infrastructure for online delivery. Online compatible techniques for teaching have been developed and researched for years, but prior to COVID-19 they were not widely deployed across ECE Departments in the US. The extraordinary push to online learning forced programs to look to experienced instructors at other academic institutions and educational hardware and software engineers in industry for help. ECEDHA and IEC offered online meetings to facilitate communication between faculty and teaching support staff from their member programs, but missing was a searchable, curated, content repository, especially for remote hands-on learning. Project RECET is working to fill this void by enabling active sharing of course content with other institutions and industry. 
RECET, while still a pilot, has passed through several revisions to improve the user experience. RECET visitors are greeted by a diagram that shows its basic structure as seen by content users or providers. Content is tagged by topic, course level and hardware and/or software platform. Content presently available is generally limited to circuits and electronics, where the need during COVID-19 was the greatest. A communication channel between industry and the academy has been created and a process is under development by which the learning products can be created, maintained, socialized, and owned to promote a new trans-institutional culture to increase the impact of engineering education research on ECE education. 
The RECET website is now being used to promote and collect feedback from potential content users and providers, to systematically improve the repository impact and to prepare for its eventual scale-up. The vision of RECET to enable more effective collaboration between ECE programs for educational delivery has been socialized throughout the communities served by ECEDHA and IEC. There have been articles in online newsletters and presentations at online and in-person meetings, with a particular emphasis on regional meetings of department heads. Unfortunately, interest in a repository like RECET has waned since COVID-19 restrictions on ECE educational delivery have been eliminated. Many programs have gone to a new normal, but they have done so by almost entirely addressing their remote delivery issues locally. ECE departmental leadership largely considers the issues their programs had to deal with during COVID-19 as solved and the forces for change gone. Based on ideas that have been received from the ECE community, RECET is now in the process of pivoting so that the lessons learned during the pandemic can eventually lead to a true new normal.
