I like your approach here. As strange as it sounds the path to ethical action in tech requires cultivating the kind of imagination required to think of all the ways tech can be used for ill (sometimes called 'design noir'). I'd hope a curriculum would have a hefty dose of this.

Gone are the days we can just build something and act naive about what ways tech can be abused or think we can solve those issues as they come up.

Most of the time, it's not even in companies interest to look too closely at the negative implications of their products, because then they'd have to act.

Hence, its better to anticipate problems at the design phase than deal with them after the thing is built and corporate inertia and sunk costs demand it stay the same or only get band-aid fixes to those problems.
