全面的后勤结构的发展对于确保成功实施克恩创业教育网络（KEEN）倡议的愿景至关重要，该倡议旨在大力推动工程教育，进一步增强工程毕业生的创业思维特征。后勤结构必须从 KEEN 教育目标 (KEO) 开始，因为它们定义了所需的方向和最终结果。通过确保学生在毕业时实现“敏锐的学生成果”(KSO)，KEO 反过来又得到进一步发展。课程和课外活动具有发展由成果所定义的专业和技术特征的功能，从而使目标得以追求和实现。这些项目的协调至关重要，不仅可以确保实现目标，还可以确保课程和成果以预期的方式真正影响和相互影响。非常有利的是，所提出的结构与 ABET 工程标准一致并兼容，该标准已被工程项目广泛认可和理解。这将简化语言的解释，并可以最大限度地减少任何额外的评估工作。
The development of a comprehensive logistic structure is essential to ensure the success of implementing the vision of the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) initiative to forcefully push engineering education to further the characteristic of entrepreneurial mindedness in engineering graduates. The logistic structure must begin with the KEEN Educational Objectives (KEOs) since they define the direction and end results desired. The KEOs in turn are furthered by assuring students at the time of graduation have achieved the KEEN Student Outcomes (KSOs). The curriculum and extracurricular activities have the function of developing the professional and technical traits defined by the outcomes, which in turn allow the objectives to be pursued and achieved. Alignment of these items is critical to ensure not just the objectives are met but also to ensure the curriculum and outcomes actually influence and affect each other in the intended manner. It is highly advantageous that the proposed structure aligns and is compatible with the ABET Engineering Criteria, which is well-established and well-understood by engineering programs. This would simplify interpretation of language and could serve to minimize any additional assessment work.
