That sounds about right. I (vaguely) remember having to do some thermodynamics problems in BTUs and Rankine temperatures without converting to SI, but that was certainly the exception. Once I got into the engineering curriculum, we were also expected to be able to do simple torque and force problems in pounds (force or mass, depending on context), feet (distance), foot-pounds (energy), and pound-feet (torque). Mostly it was to show that all the concepts work in both systems, I think. In case you found yourself working in an industry that hadn’t switched to metric. |
