Students visited the SENAI MS laboratories (FIEMS system) and were guided by SENAI instructors through hands-on demonstrations. In the Indust rial Automation Laboratory (Industry 4.0)\, they saw the Smart 4.0 product ion line with a collaborative robot integrating storage\, processing\, ass embly and shipping stations. They also explored PLC training benches (Siem ens S7-1200 with HMI)\, frequency inverters with PROFINET/PROFIBUS network s\, motor control panels\, a process instrumentation plant\, a pick-and-pl ace station developed by SENAI students\, and a didactic elevator. The tou r also included the metalworking area\, with CNC machining centers and lat hes\, an educational robotics session\, and an interactive “build the fa ctory” activity.\n\nPart 2: IES presentation and invited talk at UFMS. I n the evening\, the Student Branch presented the IEEE Industrial Electroni cs Society: its mission\, technical areas\, publications\, conferences and membership benefits\, and its activities at UFMS. Next came the talk “F rom Learning to Doing: Robotics\, Maker Culture and 21st-Century Skills” by Washington Luiz Carvalho\, Education Management Analyst at SESI MS. He covered project-based learning\, educational robotics (FIRST LEGO League\ , FTC\, FRC\, STEM Racing)\, maker culture\, and how schools\, innovation and industry needs connect. The event ended with a pizza social for networ king among students\, volunteers and the speaker.\n\nOutcomes. The event b rought students closer to real industrial environments and strengthened th e presence of IEEE IES at UFMS. It was also the first activity of a partne rship between UFMS and SENAI MS. The next steps include a follow-up meetin g with SENAI MS to plan a joint extension project with public schools\, an d evaluating the creation of an IEEE IES Student Chapter in Mato Grosso do Sul.\n\nSpeaker\n\nWashington Luiz Carvalho\, Education Management Analys t\, SESI Mato Grosso do Sul.
