Which books would you recommend for a 3rd year engineering student who wants to learn about the subject?

lol you're not smart enough to learn quantum physics, fag

He's right in a way. I would first go and learn linear algebra and pde's before anything. I recall engineers only go up to ode and exclude linear at some universities, so make sure you know that. Also, make sure you know classical mechanics to the point of understanding why i doesn't work and why quantum mechanics was needed (this also applies to electricity and magnetism). Supplement this with some knowledge in waves and how they work. After all this, go pick up Shankar's Principles of Quantum Mechanics and supplement it with Griffiths Intro to quantum. If you already know all this just jump straight into the books.

Fellow engineering major here. Can't fathom why anyone would want to waste their time learning something so devoid of utility or consequence.

Might as well study the Silmarillion.

None of them. It's a rabbit hole you don't want to go down.

Sakurai is heavy but thorough. Griffiths is a bit sparse but it's pretty easy to "understand".

Griffiths absolutely.
I'd suggest something like Takhtajan as well but but you're studying engineering so you're probably brain dead.
