It's sometimes called "Applied Physics" or "Applied Engineering".

As you can see here, they're very much in bed together, but "materials science" retains its own specialized curriculum. To the Google with you!

And yeah, honestly, if you got a degree in materials/applied science, you'd never be out of a job, but your job could be pretty boring.
