Portuguese term
Engenharia do Trabalho
Portuguese to English
Tech/Engineering
Electronics / Elect Eng
Course Unit required for Electrical Engineering student found in a transcript from a Federal University in Brazil. Comes under the curriculum of Production Engineering.
My guess is "Production Engineering". or "Engineering of Work" although I have not heard the latter.
Found in: http://guiadoestudante.abril.com.br/profissoes/engenharia/pr...
Engenharia do trabalho: Administrar a mão-de-obra, para a produção de bens ou a prestação de serviços. Avaliar custos, prazos e instalações para possibilitar a execução do trabalho.

Labor engineering or Occupational Engineering
.
Note from asker:
Thank you Paulo. Your answer "Occupational Engineering" was the most suitable. After a little more research, I found out that the subject of the class deals with ergonomics, work place safety and the best use of machinery. And thanks to all who contributed. |

industrial engineering
Industrial engineering would cover all these tasks and more.
Industrial engineerin is a branch of engineering concerned with the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, material and process. It also deals with designing new prototypes to help save money and make the prototype better. Industrial engineering draws upon the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis, as well as mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. In lean manufacturing systems, industrial engineers work to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources.
Industrial engineering is also known as operations management, management science, systems engineering, or manufacturing engineering, usually depending on the viewpoint or motives of the user. Recruiters or educational establishments use the names to differentiate themselves from others. In healthcare, for example, industrial engineers are more commonly known as management engineers or health systems engineers. Often abbreviated as "IE," industrial engineering is sometimes jokingly or skeptically called "imaginary engineering" in comparison to other branches of engineering which more commonly produce tangible products.
The term "industrial" in industrial engineering can be misleading. While the term originally applied to manufacturing, it has grown to encompass virtually all other industries and services as well. The various topics of concern to industrial engineers include management science, financial engineering, engineering management, supply chain management, process engineering, operations research, systems engineering, ergonomics, value engineering and quality engineering.
Examples of where industrial engineering might be used include designing a new loan system for a bank, streamlining operation and emergency rooms in a hospital, distributing products worldwide (referred to as Supply Chain Management), and shortening lines (or queues) at a bank, hospital, or a theme park. Industrial engineers typically use computer simulation, especially discrete event simulation, for system analysis and evaluation.
Examples of famous Industrial Engineers include Susan Story, CEO of Gulf Power [1] and Mohammad Barghash, a Jordanian Industrial Engineer well known in the United Arab Emirates and Australia for his revolutionary business ideas and skills in Activity Based Costing.

Production Engineering
I would say "Production Engineering" just like it is shown in Portuguese in the link you provided. ;)
