The only data I have is that males tend to be inherently better at abstract thinking and logic, seem to be inherently more interested in systems as opposed to women.
So if anything, any data would suggest that males are more skilled engineers than women, but I'd like to go easy on the critics here and assume males and females on average are hypothetically equal in that regard.
you forget the effect of self-selection into the field, which could easily override whatever attribute you're referencing, that's why we need supporting data before assuming they're the same
