According to the article, this 15 hour program enabled 80% of the women admitted to the engineering program to graduate vs 50% before hand. I guarantee if you ask Dr Sorby who came up with the program that is the main takeaway not some culture war thing. The same course was offered to men and it improved their spatial ability but didn't improve their rate of matriculation. I'm not exactly sure how it relates to that school since we don't know the rate of matriculation for men there, but the article didn't mention that nationwide 60% of people admitted to engineering programs drop out. That suggests that with a 15 hour intervention that women may be less likely to drop out of engineering programs than men are.
