No.

Friction is a measurable force observed between two objects sliding/rolling along each others surface. Shear is the act of cutting.

The process of friction could shear something. Think glaciers.

What is the difference between friction and shear forces in the context of materials science and engineering?

Friction forces occur when two surfaces rub against each other in opposite directions, while shear forces happen when layers of a material slide past each other in the same direction. Friction resists motion between surfaces, while shear causes deformation within a material. Both forces play important roles in materials science and engineering, influencing how materials behave under different conditions.
