Cindy Fry is a senior lecturer in Baylor University's School of Computer Science and Engineering. After graduating from Texas A&M with a degree in industrial engineering, Fry was recruited to work for NASA and moved to Huntsville, Ala., to work at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. While there, she pursued a master's degree in industrial and systems engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. While at NASA, Fry worked as a program engineer on the Hubble Space Telescope and the Space Station; as a crew trainer for Spacelab; and as the science operations director for the Tethered-Satellite System, a joint NASA-Italian Space Agency payload. Fry later returned to Texas with her husband to be close to her family and to run a consulting business, Systems Engineering Services. She joined the ECS staff in 1997 as a part-time computer science lecturer and part-time programmer-analyst in information technology services. She became a full-time lecturer in 1998 and, in the spring of 2004, was named Outstanding Professor.
In addition to her teaching, Fry developed the School's curriculum for the Baylor in Maastricht, Netherlands, study abroad program, and has expanded it into the Baylor International Technology Entrepreneurship summer study abroad program, a joint endeavor with the Hankamer School of Business.
