Below, is a previously posted list of electives that are available this semester (S18).
To clarify, these courses may or may not count toward specific requirements.
For example, MAE 5920 could be used as a technical elective or possibly an advisor approved elective (contingent on advisor approval), but cannot be used as a major approved elective (it is not on the list of major approved electives).
Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the requirements for each type of elective when planning your course schedule. Detailed information on electives can be found here (scroll down to notes): http://www.mae.cornell.edu/mae/academics/undergrad/memajor/index.cfm
The list of accepted major approved electives can be found here: http://www.mae.cornell.edu/mae/academics/undergrad/memajor/electives.cfm
