Resumo
© The Author(s) 2025.Recent research shows that there is a significant lack of subjects related to the area we call ‘work engineering’ in undergraduate engineering courses in Brazil. The organization of work and the challenges posed by production models directly impact the health and safety of workers and indirectly affect society. It is argued that ergonomics, as a scientific discipline and professional practice, can serve as a means for engineering to analyze and understand the variability present in the occupational environment. The objective here is to discuss work from a critical perspective and its central role in society and in the constitution of health, aiming to position it as a protagonist in the training of engineers, as well as to debate the need to integrate different fields and knowledge proposed by ‘engineering’. of work’. Finally, it discusses the importance of designing work situations in the context of engineering, highlighting how it can be a vector for transforming productive situations, enabling safe, healthy and efficient environments. In this sense, the expanded concept of ‘work engineering’ can contribute to social sustainability, laying the foundations for the construction of human relationships and more dignified work environments (SDG8, UN Agenda 2030).
