Digital Humanities brings in critical theory, ethical thinking, and historical perspective, which helps scientists and engineers reflect on the broader implications of their work. Instead of focusing only on technical efficiency, DH encourages researchers to consider social context, language, and power structures embedded in technology. This approach helps humanize design decisions, analyze how scientific discourse shapes society, and promotes a more thoughtful and reflexive research practice across science and engineering fields.
