    I don’t believe there are any (unless you count length and mass measurements for physical component layouts). Perhaps it’s a byproduct of the field having international standardization for units from the outset.

      I think you’re right about the international standardization. Also, I think another important factor is that the average American has a concept of how long a foot is, how hot 70°F is, how much a pound weighs, etc. These are easily to visualize because these measurements are used in everyday life outside of engineering applications. Most people don’t have a concept of the units we use to measure the invisible magic force in our walls.
