To find the latest course descriptions, use the Cornell Courses of Study site, http://courses.cornell.edu/

If you search through a search engine such as Google, you have a good chance of accessing archived information–this means you will be most likely not accessing the most updated course description.

To find the most recent course information (what’s being offered, time/room) offered this current semester, use the Cornell Roster, https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP16  Rooms have not yet been assigned.

For new MAE courses, there will usually be a link listed in the course listing in the roster.  This link will lead you to a flyer or additional information to help you with your course selections.  For a Special Topics course, as in the case of MAE 6950,https://classes.cornell.edu/search/roster/SP16?q=mae+6950&days-type=any&pi= there is no course description in the Courses of Study site because these are typically one-time offerings.
