Stop in for a cup of coffee
Well, this is a nice vague statement. I hope you are in the field. Below are a couple of explanations being you supplied nothing to talk about.
The MET lab here at work, the group the brought my son in, and a friend who has title of Senior Fellow, has Dr in his title, holds dozen's of patents for aluminum alloys, does much work for DOD and other Government branches, summed it up this way. Yes, there is much to this field.....

The
interdisciplinary field of
materials science, also commonly termed
materials science and engineering, is the design and discovery of new materials, particularly
solids. The intellectual origins of materials science stem from the
Enlightenment, when researchers began to use analytical thinking from
chemistry,
physics, and
engineering to understand ancient,
phenomenological observations in
metallurgy and
mineralogy.
[1][2] Materials science still incorporates elements of physics, chemistry, and engineering. As such, the field was long considered by academic institutions as a sub-field of these related fields. Beginning in the 1940s, materials science began to be more widely recognized as a specific and distinct field of science and engineering, and major technical universities around the world created dedicated schools for its study.

What is materials science and engineering?
To make any engineered device, structure or product, you need the right materials. Materials science teaches us what things are made of and why they behave as they do. Materials engineering shows us how to apply knowledge to make better things and to make things better.

A bachelor’s degree in materials science and engineering (EMSE) will prepare you to create and innovate products that touch our everyday lives: prostheses, automobiles, mountain bikes, computers, cell phones, and more.
At Michigan Tech, you will not only explore a wide variety of materials—ranging in scale from the nano- to the macro—you will also take an active role in their development and production. Find out what controls the properties, behaviors, and performance of metals, plastics, ceramics, biomaterials, electronic materials, and more.
Materials scientists work at the forefront of technology, applying physics, chemistry, and biology to compose new products—many of which have the potential to greatly improve quality of life. These professionals have contributed to major scientific breakthroughs including
- New materials that allow energy conversion for a cleaner environment
- Artificial skin for burn victims
- Nanotechnologies that make computers smaller, faster, and more economical
- Tough new composites that enable mountain bikers to climb higher and faster
- Microscopic silicon chips that rewire themselves to conform to users’ needs
- Medical diagnostic equipment such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging
Unless your issue is with the number of branches of Engineering. There are 4 main branches and many sub categories...either way. I appreciate the comments. Thank you
