Research Question 1: What do high school science and engineering students believe about smartness?During our initial thematic analysis, it was difficult to identify common themes across all, oreven the majority, of the participants. This was due to the considerable variation in the students’responses. The participants used phrases like “good grades,” “hard work,” “natural ability,”“confidence,” and many others to describe their smartest peers. They also frequently contradictedthemselves and each other in their responses. For example, some participants described thesmartest student as the one

First, medical models of disability position physical, cognitive, anddevelopmental difference as a “sickness” or “condition” that must be “treated” [20], [21]. Fromthis

striking differences between strategies used to cope with genderstereotype or bias when examined by the participants’ engineering major.DiscussionThis research provides information on female engineering students’ responses toward genderstereotype or bias experiences. Understanding a problem is key to creating behavioral change [17].A deeper understanding of how female engineering students react could positively impact the designand implementation of interventions related to gender stereotype or bias. Superficial application ofgender-related initiatives may lead to a failure to create relevant change [25]. It is fundamental tocreate critical consciousness to systematically change normalized oppression narratives [26].It is noteworthy that in our
