Narrative:
On a transitional flight in a C-182 with a private pilot we were approaching to land at [the] airport. While joining the downwind at 45 degree midfield and at about 1;100 feet MSL about to turn to base leg the engine stopped producing power. Until such time the student was at controls. When the engine failed; I took over control; established the best glide speed; did the emergency engine failure procedures and headed to the runway. We were low on altitude and came on finals. We crossed the airport fencing in a shallow turn and was left of the runway. I leveled the wings and flared for landing. The aircraft touched down with the left main gear on the soft grass area with slush and snow. We rolled and when the nose wheel touched down; it bogged down on the soft ground and the nose wheel collapsed. There were damage on the bottom cowl. There were no injuries to me or my student.
