The difference is the Y- axis. In the case of the Demand curve the Y - axis is the retail price of the good. On the Engel's curve the Y -axis is the amount of income over a set period of time.
Its the same I think :)
The Engel curve for inferior goods shows that as income decreases, the consumption of these goods increases. This illustrates that lower-income individuals tend to spend more on inferior goods compared to higher-income individuals.
I'll give an introductory idea: In Microeconomics a consumer's well-being or how better off he is, is measured by his utility function. Utility function is a function of those variables that influence his well being i.e. consumption of goods/services that increase his well-being. His utility can be maximised subject to his money income with which he can buy the goods that maximise his utility. After finding the optimal consumption bundle using calculus, we find them to be functions of the exogenous variables such as Prices and Income. This must hold true because as Prices of goods rise, we consume less of that commodity and substitute it by the other good. Similarly as Income rises for normal goods consumption of both rises by the same proportion. After knowing the above, we come to the Income and price consumption curves. Income consumption Curves (ICC) are locus of those points that connect the optimal consumption of goods as income changes (ceteris paribus) in a Good x Good framework, when you choose to draw it in a Good x Income framework you get the Engel Curve. Similar is the Price consumption curve, which is the locus of points connecting commodity consumption against price changes of a particular good (ceteris paribus) in a Good x Good framework.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! When the price is low, it feels like a good deal, doesn't it? It's like finding a beautiful little tree in the forest at a bargain price. And when the price is high, it's like the sun peeking out from behind the clouds - you might want to wait for a better moment to make your purchase. Remember, it's all about finding that perfect balance between value and cost.
Its the same I think :)

Both curves plot the relationship between X, in this case a good, and something when income varies. However there's different variables on the vertical axis. The ICC has a composite good on the vertical axis while the Engel curve has income on the vertical axis.
The Engel curve shows how household expenditure on goods changes with rising income. Giffen goods are inferior goods. As household income rises, instead of consuming more of the Giffen goods, expenditure is switched to better quality goods. Consequently, the demand for a Giffen good falls as income rises and this results in a downward sloping curve. Incidentally, a curve that slopes "negatively downward" is actually a curve that slopes positively upwards!
The Engel curve for inferior goods shows that as income decreases, the consumption of these goods increases. This illustrates that lower-income individuals tend to spend more on inferior goods compared to higher-income individuals.
