Not really a good idea. The water over time from the concrete will cause the board damage. If you use a good pad there is no reason you cannot lay the carpet over concrete.
Can you lay engineered wood floor on carpet padding?
Generally, no. The carpet pad will have too much bounce causing the engineered hardwood (or even laminate) to break and split. That being said there are some thin felt carpet pads that could work, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'm not sure why you are asking this question. If it's because you had carpet there and you are hoping to reuse your existing carpet pad, that is a big no no. The carpet pad will be uneven which can cause problems and worse than that, it will already be dirty with germs and potentially moisture and you could develop mold and/or odor issues. Also, if your engineered hardwood is over concrete, you want the traditional laminate/hardwood underlayment which also has a moisture barrier. This, of course, is assuming that you are doing a floating floor. If you are nailing or glueing than it's an even firmer no.
Can you put hardwood floor over carpet padding?
No, carpet pad is both taller and softer then pads meant for floating laminate and wood floors. No pad of any kind should be used on any other type of wood installation.

Why does a concrete floor feel colder to you than a carpeted floor at the same temperature?
Concrete has higher thermal conductivity than carpet, meaning it can conduct heat away from your body faster, making it feel colder. Carpet acts as an insulator, trapping heat and preventing it from escaping as quickly, resulting in a warmer sensation.

What kind of carpet padding for basements?
You don't put padding directly on a concrete floor. You have to frame out the floor, lay plywood sheets over the frame, probably want a vapor barrier as well. Then you can lay any pad and carpet you want. There are certain types of carpet that come with an attached foam padding that are designed to lay over concrete. If you think you want to just glue carpet directly to the concrete floor, check the mfg. warranty first. Most mfgs. will not honor their warranty unless they specifically state that it can be glued to concrete.
