Abstract The framework of graduation requirements of the Washington Accord stipulates the knowledge, qualities and abilities that students should master. Each major designs the curriculum system in the reverse direction based on the graduation requirements and evaluates the rationality of the curriculum system settings, which has too many subjective factors and not enough objectivity in actual operation. In this paper, computational thinking and educational psychology are used to explore the internal rules through big data analysis, translate stability of ability characteristics corresponding to graduation requirements into consistency measure of distribution of students' performance in each supporting course, and construct an algorithm to evaluate the support relationship between professional curriculum system and graduation requirements. Students' comprehensive performance is taken as main data source to analyze the shortcomings of the support relationship at graduation requirements level or course level based on calculation results. Results of evaluation cases of engineering majors curriculum system in three universities show that this method can effectively detect the problem of improper support of courses to graduation requirements in the professional curriculum system.
