What's /sci/'s opinion on material science? Is there interesting research going on in the field?

i think its a meme degree desu. if you want to do materials i would do pure chem with a graduate degree in materials.

in a perfect world the only undergrad stem degrees would be physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics
everything else would be a specialization in grad school
I think we all have one of those

No

Fixed that for you.
Technology/Engineering only need to be 4 year programs, depending on what type of engineering someone's doing. Technology is such a broad field, but if we're talking about CS/IS and the like, that doesn't need to be more than a 4 year either.

I love it OP, I'm doing research on organic materials right now, and planning on doing a master's degree in materials.

Beyond the graphene meme, yes, all sorts of cool shit. One of the more awesome things that comes to mind is the metal annealing research being done. In addition, the large carbon nanostructures are also pretty cool.
