I believe that the first "engine" was a steam powered engine which was originally used in the coal mines to pump out water as well as to move out the coal... If you don't know. A steam powered engine uses a special process of heated water, hence the word steam, which is controlled by valves. the original steam powered engine, the pressure was to both sides of the piston as was used for trains... I guess I answered more the what than the when... so for the when, I believe that Ford used the first mass produced engine in 1907, but gasoline engines were invented in, I think, 1896.
This must be a trick question, but, I will guess: the same time the first internal combustion engine was fired up? Is that what your looking for?!
