In most organizations the difference is clear: marketing provides a clear benefit to the business in the form of brand recognition, sales, and stickiness while engineering is a cost not unlike the costs a retailer incurs sourcing products: sometimes it delivers substandard products and sometimes spectacular ones.
There is a relationship between the two, but they're different disciplines with different goals and different methods to achieve them.
That's like asking, "what's the difference between the f22 and its sales brochure?" Not trying to be mean, but I don't understand the comparison. They are wholly different in nature.
Engineering takes a desired outcome in the physical or virtual world and, using principals of math(computer science), physics and chemistry, reduced to reliable functional mechanisms aggregated in a logical fashion, constructs a device that produces on demand the desired outcome.
Marketing, on the other hand, takes a desired outcome in sales and, using the powers of persuasion, produces the desired outcome of greater sales ( I suppose).
