To sign "engagement", hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing down. Form an 'E' handshape with your dominant hand. Move the 'E' hand in a small circle above your non-dominant hand, then bring it down to land specifically on the ring finger of your non-dominant hand.
To sign this, you would sign 'hear', point to the couple or sign 'their', and then perform the sign for 'engagement' by landing the 'E' handshape on your ring finger.
Sign 'my', followed by 'engagement', then 'ring' (sliding your thumb and index finger down your ring finger), and finish with the sign for 'beautiful'.
Start by establishing the timeframe with 'yesterday', point to 'they', sign 'announce', and conclude with the sign for 'engagement'.

No, this specific sign is exclusively used for a romantic engagement, such as a promise to marry. If you are talking about a business meeting or a prior commitment, you should use the sign for 'appointment'.
Yes, you should always use your non-dominant hand as the flat base hand. Your dominant hand should be the active hand that forms the 'E' shape and performs the movement.
The circular motion should be relatively small and contained. Just hover your dominant hand slightly above the non-dominant hand, make a quick circle, and bring it down to rest on the ring finger.
