Who do I ask for letters of recommendation?

I'm a little confused on what I need to do in order to get letters of recommendation. How should I go about asking someone if they are willing to write a letter for me? Also, should I pick teachers from main subjects like math or English or can I ask my art and drama teachers? #art #writing

Is it difficult to do well in an engineering major in college without any background experience?

I didn't participate in a robotics club or activities that involved designing and building anything, but I am a bit curious to explore it in college because I am undecided in what I want to pursue. Will it be difficult to catch up in college without any background knowledge or experience?...
