The purpose of this study is to identify the instructional design factors of each type of capstone design in universities. Topic modeling and keyword network analysis were conducted by extracting keywords from a total of 50 articles published in journals, and the results are as follows. Capstone design has different types of instructional design elements. First, in the ‘corporate linkage type’, words about the major field and industry appeared, such as 'engineer, fashion, industry'; second, in the ‘social problem solving type’, words about society, solution, service, and field appeared, such as ‘service, solve, field, social’; third, in the ‘creative type’, words about type, type, and field appeared. Third, in the ‘creative type’, words about the subject or type appeared, such as ‘type, subject’. Fourth, in the ‘entrepreneurial type’, words such as ‘compete, active’ appeared, indicating that students are active in competing to start a business. Based on these results, the study describes the factors that should be considered when designing a capstone design course and suggest implications for future effective course design.
