Aside from KC's spelling, there is a difference.
You asked so here you go. 
The basic difference is what they use to produce mechanical work.
General rule of thumb is that Engines use thermal energy of some form (steam, petrochemical combustion) while Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical work.
