Abstract

Purpose

This study used the industry-oriented capstone course to increase the employability of electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) students in technological university.

Design/methodology/approach

In this study, EECS students were selected and divided into groups, and the non-equivalent pretest–posttest quasi-experimental research method was adopted.

Findings

Industry-oriented capstone courses can improve students' employability, especially general ability, behaviour and attitude.

Practical implications

The results of this study and many other studies show that capstone courses are helpful for the soft skills of students.

Originality/value

This study provides evidence that industry-oriented capstone courses can improve EECS students' employability.
