Some gadgets can only be used by someone with engineering skill (i.e. a gadgeteer). Madras can make things for the general population such as double and triple firing crossbows out of single light cross bows. I took him for a little while and decided to drop him.
Changing classes does not seem to be a really good thing to do in this game. Once you change, the character stops growing in their old skills (e.g. music). If you changed your bard into a gadgeteer, she could make things and use them at a low level. You could train her to be better, but she would not grown as a bard. If you swap her to gadgeteer for a level or two, and then go back to bard -- then she would be able to make and use gadgets at a low level only.
I really like my bard. By mid game, you will have found many instruments she can use to really help the party. And she is good at opening doors and chests. Only draw back is that all of those instruments get heavy
