A master electrician cannot get a PE license without going through the process an Engineer has to go through to get a PE license.
The typical process to become a PE is to have 4 year undergraduate engineering degree, then pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam (F.E.) which is 8 hours. After 4 years of work experience (at least 2 of which must be design), the candidate can sit for the PE exam. Upon passing the exam, the candidate becomes a PE.
There is the possibility of taking the PE exam without having an engineering degree (or even a college degree I think) but that will require 10 years of Engineering experience (and this varies from state to state). The reality is passing the FE exam without an engineering or science background is almost impossible, and to pass any of the PE exams without this background would be very difficult as well.
Now, the flipside is true of a PE or Engineer who wishes to become a Master Electrician. Just like it is required to have design experience to be eligible to take the PE exam, it is required for one to work as an electrician for several years before being eligible to become a licensed electrician.
Having an Engineering degree can waive a few years off the requirement, but the work still needs to be done.
For the record there are people out there with both licenses, one of them being Joseph Sheehan who is one of the editors of the National Electric Code.
