Abstract: A subset $S$ of a group $G$ is called an Engel set if, for all $x,yinS$, there is a non-negative integer $n=n(x,y)$ such that $[x,{,}_{n}y]=1$. In this paper we are interested in finding conditions for a group generated by a finite Engel set to be nilpotent. In particular, we focus our investigation on groups generated by an Engel set of size two.
