MPEI cooperation with universities in the USA began in 1991, when cooperation agreements were signed with Hawking College (Ohio), the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Institute of Technology named after Rose-Hulman.

Since 2001, Barry Dooley, Executive Secretary of the International Association for the Properties of Water Vapor in the USA, has become MPEI Honorary Doctor.  Barry Dooley is one of the major experts in the field of thermal power engineering. In March 2014 he gave a lecture for MPEI students on the topic "Issues of water and steam use at thermal power plants: history and prospects" (in English).

In December 2008, the Microsoft Innovation Center (MIC) was opened as part of the cooperation between the MPEI and Microsoft. MIC's work is aimed at improving the skills of the teaching staff; training highly qualified specialists with modern information technologies, additional training for students and postgraduates, as well as training in the implementation of software development projects on the Microsoft platform.

Many foreign companies are interested in MPEI scientific developments. In February 2013, the reception of the President of PHLburg Technologies Inc (USA) was held at the MPEI. The main activity of the company is the search for unique technologies with new technical properties, followed by commercial exploitation, ensuring the protection of intellectual property.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers of the USA (IEEE) is one of the organizers of the annual International Scientific and Technical Conference of Students and postgraduates "Radioelectronics, Electrical Engineering and Power Engineering", held at the MPEI.

Since 2018, MPEI has been holding the IEEE International Youth Scientific and Technical Conference "Relay Protection and Automation".
