On November 12, 2026, the official IES Day, the IEEE UFMS Student Branch, with its IAS and PELS Student Chapters, invites students and young professionals to celebrate the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society with a visit to the laboratories of SENAI MS, the industrial training and technology institution of the FIEMS system (Federation of Industries of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul). Participants will tour the SENAI MS laboratories and watch hands-on demonstrations by SENAI instructors in industrial automation, programmable logic controllers, robotics, and industrial electronics. The program also includes an industry talk on industrial training and the needs of the state's industry, streamed online for remote participants. The Student Branch will present its educational robotics outreach program for public schools. The event marks the first step toward the first IEEE IES Student Chapter in Mato Grosso do Sul. It is also the start of a long-term partnership between UFMS and SENAI MS, which includes a joint extension project with public schools.
