The beauty of scientific notation - same symbols, wildly different implications. To a mechanical engineer, "10 rad/s" is just a spinning thing. "Is my motor running at 10 radians per second? Cool, that's about 95 RPM." Meanwhile, nuclear engineers are having existential crises because 10 radiation units per second means either evacuate the building or update your will. One field worries about things going round, the other about things going boom. The duality of engineering - where identical notation can mean either "normal Tuesday" or "call the hazmat team."
