Originally the word engine simply meant machine, but this usage has declined somewhat as modern usage has tended to use it only to refer to motors.

Another example of that usage is in cotton gin, where gin is a shortening of engine. Thus this is actually cotton engine or cotton machine.

So a catapult is referred to as a siege engine or siege machine.
