Concept mapping is one of the methods of knowledge mapping. The existing studies portray that concept mapping can be very useful for improving students' learning and achievements. Many engineering students taking accounting course find it challenging to understand the accounting topics and it is difficult for them to achieve good results in this course. This study is aimed to review the available literature on concept mapping and its use in teaching accounting to engineering students. Forward and backward snowballing technique has been used to find the relevant literature on concept mapping. The available literature has been divided into three categories. The review results depicted a profound research gap regarding the research questions raised. © 2017 IEEE.
