mySQL error 1064 on Forward Engineering - mysql

Question

Using mySQL workbench, i created an EER diagram and populated it with appropriate data for a class I am in. This is the sample of the generated code that creates the issue:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `bhk13`.`person` ;
SHOW WARNINGS;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `bhk13`.`person` (
`per_id` MEDIUMINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS () VIRTUAL,
`per_fname` VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
`per_lname` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
`per_city` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`per_state` CHAR(2) NOT NULL,
`per_street` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`per_zip` INT NOT NULL,
`per_phone` BIGINT NOT NULL,
`per_email` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
`per_ssn` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`per_gender` ENUM('m', 'f', 'o') NOT NULL,
`per_dob` DATE NOT NULL,
`per_is_emp` ENUM('y', 'n') NOT NULL,
`per_is_alm` ENUM('y', 'n') NOT NULL,
`per_is_stu` ENUM('y', 'n') NOT NULL,
`per_note` VARCHAR(255) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`per_id`))
ENGINE = InnoDB;
SHOW WARNINGS;
when I attempt to forward engineer the database, it generates the following error:
