The attached circuit my son is working on, has several caps without units. I believe they are in mfd, but want to confirm. Note that micro and pico farad values are called out.

Hello,

I think they are in μF.
The ones that are mentioned with the μF are the electrolitic ones.

It's worth noting that "mfd" occasionally seen on a capacitor label actually means µF. I suppose this is not ambiguous if mF is reserved for millifarads.
