Being engaged means you are occupied with a task, such as one that requires concentration. Busy means you are occupied.
Therefore, the two words have little difference.
However, a person might use "engaged" when they really aren't busy, but are "occupied", such as being on the toilet. Some people think saying they are engaged or have an engagement to attend sounds more polished and refined than simply saying, "I'm busy."
NOTE: Engaged also means promised to a prospective mate, i.e. the rite of passage before marriage.
