I would recommend that you rephrase your question, but, at the great risk of being labeled a "not useful" answer... Lots of different parts are cast, machined or formed to specific shapes and then they are welded, bolted or otherwise assembled in a factory using an assembly-line-like process. I don't think this is really what you wanted to know, but this is how they are made. A complete description of all the types of casting, machining, forming, etc. and assembly operations could be a degree program. The design process, which could also be taught as a two- or four-year degree program is even more complex in some ways. I suggest you decide on a more limited-scope or specific direction for your question and post again.

As the other poster stated, it is a very complex process involving many different components and technologies, created by sophisticated manufacturing technologies and assembled by large numbers of skilled workers. Aeronautical engineering is an entire engineering field. The following link is provided by Pratt & Whitney, one of the largest engine manufacturers, and shows how different engines work. This will give you some idea of the complexity and number of parts in an engine: http://www.pratt-whitney.com/how.htm
