ha, you're all wrong. there are 3! two on the engines everyone sees. there is also a smaller one in the tail known as the APU or Auxiliary Power Unit. this powers electrical and supplies pneumatics for starting the main engines. so there are 3. sometimes there can be 2 apu's, but thats pretty rare. im an aircraft mechanic, so you know im not just pulling this out of thin air.

Wrong on the APU. It is not a jet, but a turbine engine. A jet develops power with exhaust or a series of turbo fans. A turbine engine turns a shaft to transmit power, either to a propeller or in the case of the the APU, a generator.
The 737 is a twin engine aricraft.

Eferrell seems to differentiate between a jet engine and a turbine engine. Those two big round things hanging under the wings are turbine engines as is the one in the tail used for auxiliary power.

There are two jet engines on a 737 that product 20,000 lbs of thrust each.

There are two main jet engines which are actually the "real" jet engines which provide thrust to move the airplane, but as pizllexam2006 mentioned, there is also an APU but it gives little thrust and isn't intended for thrust anyway but it does help. I'm no mechanic though, but I will be. :-)
