In the present paper, we are concerned with the Hausdorff dimension of certain sets arising in Engel continued fractions. In particular, the Hausdorff dimension of sets
$\big\{x ∈ [0,1): b_n(x) ≥ \phi (n)~i.m.~n ∈ \mathbb{N}\big\}\ \ \text{and}\ \ \big\{x ∈ [0,1): b_n(x) ≥ \phi(n),\ \forall n ≥ 1\big\}$
are completely determined, where
$i.m.$
 means infinitely many,
$\{b_n(x)\}_{n ≥ 1}$
 is the sequence of partial quotients of the Engel continued fraction expansion of
$x$
 and
$\phi$
 is a positive function defined on natural numbers.
Keywords: Engel continued fractions, growth rate of partial quotients, Hausdorff dimension.
