Read the marking scheme on Moodle to familiarised with what I am looking for.
Coursework Instructions (you may be penalised if not following the instruction given):
1. Please submit as a single zip file which contains the whole NetBeans project folder
and a brief report (max 8 pages).
2. Only one NetBeans project encompassing all tasks to be submitted—not separate
Netbeans project for each Question.
3. The NetBeans project must be prepared using JDK v8 and JavaFX v8 and should run in

Context description
A well-known Aerospace company AirCoach requests you to design and implement
software with a user-friendly user interface to be integrated with their optical roughness
sensing device. Their plan is to use the optical roughness device to measure “how
smooth” the inner-lining of the inner engine cylinder of their new flagship plane Nimbus
2023. As they found from simulation that roughness of the engine cylinder degrades the
engine’s efficiency, lifetime, and increases carbon and noise emission.
Your task is to develop the accompanying software for the optical roughness device. The
engineer has described that this device will output a text file which lists the roughness as
the deviation in the unit of meter from an ideal circle (see Fig. 1).
For illustration purposes, the first few lines of such text file are given in Fig. 2,
