I haven't tried getting Unreal Engine and doing anything with it, but did a quick search on this, and I think there is some confusion here. "DEM" is a generic term, but some software uses it to refer to particular file formats i.e. with a .dem file extension. What this format actually is depends on the particular software, as there is more than one. Some software uses a .dem extension for the ascii grid format, instead of the more common .asc file extension. >From what I saw I think that is a red herring in this case. It didn't look like you actually need one of those particular filetypes. They instead talk about "RAW-16 or TIF-16", and I guess the latter is a geotiff with UInt16 data type. They also have some recommendations about scaling or translating the data vertically. I would have thought if you looked you'd be able to find a tutorial to make it easy for yourself.
