If your students aren't yet sophisticated (that is, if the course is to include an intro to proofs, and truth-tables, and induction, and such) then you should definitely pick up a copy of Ralph Grimaldi's "Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics: An Applied Introduction" (Amazon, Publisher).

This book is very carefully written, and in my opinion does an excellent job of reaching students who are intelligent but who begin the course with little mathematical maturity.
