Dimensional analysis needs to be taught way sooner (referring to USA education here). I'm sure I had some sense of it earlier, but it wasn't explicitly spelled out to me until college engineering courses. That's despite taking a significant number of AP and community college math and science courses in highschool. It seems like it should be part of middle school.
