Keyword: Gender

Abstract: This study breaks down prototypicality, and the effects of gender in an engineering student sample. Via open and in-vivo coding, qualitative responses were coded for both trait categories and valence. The study found that non-men (women/nonbinary) engineering students perceive others to think more positively of them than male engineering students.
