Well, you have rocket engines and jet engines which aren't internal combustion engines, and various types of internal combustion (Otto cycle -- what you probably have in most cars, Diesel cycle like small diesel cars and trucks, Wankel cycle like in Mazda rotary engines like the RX series, and 2-stroke like in dirt bikes and lawnmowers). There are also Stirling engines which work on heat differential but don't make a lot of power and are usually quite tiny and for demonstration or cooling purposes.
So yes, internal combustion engines are a type of engine.

Which type of engine is classified as internal combustion?
Reciprocating engines (piston engines) are internal combustion engines. Rotary engines ( Wankel engine) is also an internal combustion engine. In general, all types of engines in which the combustion chamber is an integrating part of the engine is considered a internal combustion engine.
What type of engine were in use before the internal combustion engine?
The external combustion engine, like in a steam train.
What type of engine is used in sports car?
An internal combustion engine.
What type of energy is converted to energ of motion in an internal combustion engine?
In an internal combustion engine, the provided energy is chemical energy. By means of combustion it is transformed into heat energy. This heat energy is transformed in to motion/kinetic energy in an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion engine of a gasoline engine?
a gasoline engine is an Internal combustion engine
What is the engine type fired by oil or gasoline?
Internal-combustion
Similarities between Internal combustion and external combustion engine?
both are the type of internal combustion engin
Does a truck use an external or internal combustion engine.?
Internal combustion engine.
What type of engine burns fuel inside the engine?
An internal combustion engine burns fuel inside.
What is a type of internal combustion engine?
An internal combustion engine is an engine where the fuel combustion happens inside a combustion chamber. There are both Reciprocating and Rotary engines that fall into this category. Most cars on the road today use internal combustion engines. An example would be the V-8 Hemi engines that Dodge puts in their trucks.
What are the differences of internal combustion and gasoline engine?
and internal combustion engine and a gasoline engine are the same thing.
What is the most important difference between and internal combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
