Engineers are fluent in both U.S. Customary and SI units. Given a choice on units,most engineers will choose SI units simply because the unit conversions are so much easier. However, since most of the U.S. still operates in terms of feet, gallons, and BTUs, the engineer must also be able to operate in U.S. Customary units and able to switch back and forth between the two.
