We thengathered evidence about the curricula of the institutions to determine the extent to which thecontent of the curriculum aligns with the aspirations. The evidence that we gathered (and presentin its entirety in the appendix to this paper) suggests that very few top-ranked institutions requireexposure to the humanistic dimensions of engineering by integrating coursework that helpsstudents understand the role engineers play in shaping the world, how they interact with otherstakeholders, or what it takes to succeed in engineering practice.

The second loop compares theeducational objectives set up by the first loop with the outcomes that result from the academicprocess. The assessment of the outcomes is integrated within the academic process. Thedifferences observed between the outcomes and objectives help refine the academic process orthe objectives or both, such that they become compatible with one another. This helps to set up acontinuous improvement cycle. Typically frequency of the loop closure is faster for the secondloop rather than for the first loop.
