What are some good resources to learn Tensor Calculus if I have an engineer's understanding of math (Vector Calculus and Linear Algebra in their non analysis forms)

No such thing. Just pick a reasonably mathematical book about continuum mechanics,

I liked Tensor Analysis on Manifolds by Bishop and Goldberg
I've also heard good things about Tensors, Differential Forms, and Variational Principles by Lovelock and Rund if you want something more calculation dockside, but I've never personally read it.

Chapter 1 of Sternberg's "Lectures on Differential Geometry" is what made me finally get tensors
