This article analyzes the fundamental role of engineering in the execution and maintenance of public infrastructure in Brazil, considering its economic, social, and environmental relevance. With a humanized and critical approach, the study presents current data on public investments, challenges faced by engineers in the management of public works, and the direct impact of these structures on the population's quality of life. A bibliographic review is used based on authors such as Tavares (2021), Silva and Cunha (2020), and guidelines from agencies such as IBGE and the Ministry of Infrastructure. It is concluded that engineering, when acting in line with social responsibility, is one of the pillars for sustainable and equitable development.
