However, these personal and academic milestones are not simply attained bycompleting the intended curriculum.

Limitations and Future OpportunitiesWhile overall successful in student learning outcomes, interest, and engagement, we identifiedseveral limitations and future opportunities. • Students spend much of the course building prescribed circuits and relatively little time designing new circuits. This was required due to the short 7-week course duration, and students reported appreciation of the well-defined and well-organized labs given the fast pace.

However, these objects are not featureless. They have specificcharacteristics that lend themselves to specific usage; features that are in large part the result of anintentional design. While it is nearly always impossible to design technology that is foolproof(because fools are so ingenious, to paraphrase Arthur Bloch), the existence of one flaw does notnecessarily condemn a technology as unethical. Rather, the value of the technology is assessed byhow likely (due to its specific design) it is to be used in ways
