Keywords: Production Engineering. People Management. Skills. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze the contribution of the People Management area to the formation of an Engineer, in addition to evaluating possible ways of acting of the Production Engineer in this area. To meet the objective, the methodology contemplated the accomplishment of five steps, namely: defining a conceptual-theoretical structure, planning the case study, collecting data, analyzing the data, and generating a diagnosis. In view of this, a Bibliographic Portfolio was developed and analyzed for the studied area, in addition to two interviews with professionals in the area of People Management, and the application of a questionnaire with students of the Production Engineering course at the Federal University of Pampa. The results showed that there is a need to develop a humanistic side in engineers, focused on people. In addition to the possibility of acting as a Production Engineer, within the area of People Management. Finally, it is expected that this research will contribute to a better reflection on the formation and development of skills for students, enabling a more humanistic and leadership vision in future engineers.
