The USA has numerous specifications for mechanical components, specified in metric units. This includes nuts, bolts. bearings, structural steel, sheet metal. All of these specifications are required because metric components are in extensive use.
some are, and plenty are imperial. my cars have a mix of both.
As I said, it's creeping up on you. See http://tinyurl.com/gwwfme2 or
-goes-metricIt has more than crept up on us. The US military went metric with the advent of NATO, and I know that all physics and chemistry I studied was metric. I believe you will be hard pressed to find a college in the USA where any Imperial measure is used in teaching physics, chemistry, pharmacology, etc.
Home economics might be the place to start with that US metric conversion.
