The program heads will review the mathematics courses on the transcript and decide whether a preparatory program is needed.
Make sure you meet the mathematics threshold requirements (through your academic background or bagrut)

Practical-engineer diploma holders

Practical-engineer diploma holders may be admitted to the program with an average of 80 or higher on the MAHAT state exams, or a grade of 75 or higher on each of the MAHAT state exams, or a full bagrut certificate that includes 4 English units with an average of 75, and a practical-engineer transcript with an average of 75 or higher.
