He’s more interested in the humanities, he’d rather be reading books or writing his own than studying engineering imo. That’s not to say he’s unintelligent, he’s got the El family genius to the point he can build Superman Robots or Cosmic Anvils or whatever else he needs, but he’s moreso a liberal arts guy at heart. His Fortress science projects are his side projects like when your dad is out tinkering with the car, not his main passion in life.
The only time I've seen Kara's Kryptonian intellect come up is when she's put in high school and is obviously way above everyone else academically. Although I think Orlando's the only one who did anything with it.
