Materials science is more focused on these topics than mechanical engineering fwiw

MSE used to be part of ME (still is in some universities).

True! Even my diploma in ME course has a subset of MatSci in it. Fascinating stuff.

I had a materials science course as part of my ME undergrad. (And of course there was overlap in other courses.)

When I went to grad school for a Master's at an engineering school which, at the time, was small enough to not actually have formal departments, I studied a fair bit of mechanical engineering but actually did a materials science thesis.

In Sweden, at many places that do a materials science engineering degree, it is historically under "Mining engineering" rather than "machine engineering".
