Creating a simple 3d game engine
Author
Does anyone know where I could find a tutorial or something on creating a simple small 3d game engine in OpenGL?
Anything that contains the word "engine" is generally not "simple" nor "small".
What do you want to accomplish?

Believe me!!!To create a 3D engine is damn hard and complicated.There is not only OpenGL calls i''m affraid!
The PAIN is coming...this summer!!!In cinemas everywhere.

It took me about 4-5 months (8 hours day, 7/7) to create an isometric engine, in OpenGL, so, unless you have that time, you should use an already existing engine.

99% of an engine is graphic library independent...
However the difficult is in what you want to do! What do you means with the term 3D engine? A 3D asteroids? A fly-sim?
If you want to do an Unreal clone I suggest to take a look at the source..and its math...(they are not humans!!!)

"OpenGL Game Programming" from our GameDev.net buddies has a lot of info on basic OpenGL stuff, but then they put it together into a FPS engine (a simple one, but it works) at the end of the book, and implements it in a game.
Definitely a good place to start.

I had looked into the book, and I am saving up to buy it but for now all I really want to know what exactly is an FPS engine?
