Ok I'm wondering how to go about doing this.

There isn't a single mechanical engineering professor in the tech ME department that would even have a clue who I was if I emailed them asking for a letter of recommendation, and the grad school I'm applying to requires three of them.

What do I do?

Do they just hand these things out to anyone or do you actually have to prove to them you deserve it?

I think I _MIGHT_ be able to get Dr. Oler to give me one, and MAYBE Dr. Muga ....

I mean should I just email the instructors I know I got good grades from and be like "Hi! Recommend me!"......?

that's why i liked smaller classes in grad school.
gave you a chance to interact with your professors and get to know them as people.
some of my grad professors would even come hang out with us at chimys after class.
every professor in my undergraduate would have no clue who i was.
