AB  - Actor-network theory (ANT) is an approach developed by sociologists, which has been applied in many contexts and disciplines. Its early proponents, including Bruno Latour, John Law, and Michel Callon, described ANT as a “sociology of translation” (Callon, 1984) concerned with the development and evolution of social relations. ANT applies a principle of symmetry to humans and non-humans, understanding people, technologies, texts, and other actors as elements in a dynamic, heterogeneous actor-network that makes up “the social.” The idea of change within these networks – alternately characterized as translation, movement, and de-scription, among other terminology - is central to ANT. 
Sociology and Science and Technology Studies, the fields that first developed and used ANT, have largely moved into a “post-ANT” space. Critiques, reflections, and revisions of ANT have led to the development of new theories and methods that go beyond some aspects of the original approach, without leaving it entirely behind (Gad & Jensen, 2010). Other fields and disciplines use ANT in their own ways, often drawing from early work and applying it in new contexts. In engineering education, aspects of classic ANT texts and ideas have recently gained prominence and have been applied to different purposes.
This paper presents a critical literature review that explores how ANT has been used in the engineering education context. Using ANT itself as our approach to interpreting the literature, we consider researchers, labs and institutions as actors in a network. We aim to understand how interpretations of ANT develop and travel within the field of engineering education. Publications are considered centres of translation, where authors study, interpret, and apply ANT in different ways.
We identified three main roles of ANT in EER. First, as a philosophical underpinning, second as a theoretical framework, and third as content in engineering courses. Also, while some authors in engineering education interpret ANT to identify the main actors in a network, others, especially when investigating engineering practice, also consider the change that occurs in networks.
