I suspect she'll have a Batman-style utility belt of mobile devices.
Really, though, that's just as true for the other options. What does an Environmentalist Barbie look like? Does she come with a Prius covered in political bumper stickers? etc.
I'm pretty sure that Barbie has gone through all the occupations that have easily-recognized uniforms and/or props, like a white coat and stethoscope for Doctor Barbie. Indeed, the fact that Computer Engineer is a choice even though it isn't a natural fit for creating a doll with colorful uniform and/or props is probably the most interesting part of the contest.
What kind of Barbie children will and/or should have to play with is probably the more important half of this equation, but I also think it's anthropologically interesting that a company is trying to make toys that earn more cultural respect from critics of the company's previous work.
