The impact of industry-oriented capstone courses on the employability of EECS students in technological universities

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

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

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

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

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