Arguing the biological factors make a meaningful difference in engineering feels like arguing for vim or emacs makes for a better engineer, or Windows vs. Mac users, or Chrome vs Firefox. Even if you use a computer differently just considering how broad the field of engineering is, I cannot imagine a case where biological factors are a more likely predictor of success than plain old institutional bias.
