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.
