That's what I was taught as well. Engines burn fuel, motors are electric.
You were taught wrong. Motors are all inclusive. Engines are not.
Not according to my aircraft maintenance instructors at BCIT and in my over 45 years in aviation, engines were never referred to as motors, so I guess it depends on where you come from.
