The flaw in that study seems to me that for starters, boys don't need to be convinced to go into CS. And those stereotypes are mostly just stereotypes - there were no such things at my university, for example. It was a rather ugly building, though. But it' not that men prefer ugly buildings (I definitely didn't), but that they keen enough on those subjects to go for it anyway. However if the finding is that if you make it nicer, more women will choose it, that seems rather trivial. Of course if you make something more attractive, more people will choose it.
