We develop a construction of Engel structures on 4– manifolds based on decompositions of manifolds into round handles. This allows us to show that all parallelizable 4–manifolds admit an Engel structure. We also show that, given two Engel manifolds M1, M2 satisfying a certain condition on the characteristic foliations, there is an Engel structure on M1#M2#(S ×S) which is closely related to the ...
